The ENRD Contact Point has prepared new practical guidance for Local Action Groups (LAGs) on designing and implementing an effective Local Development Strategy (LDS).

As the 2014-2020 LAGs get approved across EU Member States, the ENRD guidance will be useful for new LAGs as it overviews the entire LDS design phase, including: consultation; essential content; objectives and measurable targets for results; management and monitoring; as well as financial planning.
