The pilot-process \u201cEU\u2013LEADER Innovators\u201d, launched on 26 January 2021, as part of the EU-funded project \u201cLEADER Approach for Rural Prosperity in Moldova\u201d, will strengthen Local Action Groups (LAGs) as role models for the areas they will specialise in.<\/p>\n
Through this pilot-process, the selected LAGs will identify the activity sectors with the biggest development potential within their micro regions, for which tailored action plans will be created. Thus, the LAGs will specialise, among others, as promo agencies for local products, cultural centers, promoters of local cuisine\u2014any sector that can become a visiting card for their micro region. The launch event for \u201cEU\u2013 LEADER Innovators\u201d brought together over 60 participants from the LAGs across the country. Even though this model is the first for the Republic of Moldova, it has already generated many success stories in EU countries. One such example is the \u201cV\u00f6lgyvid\u00e9k\u201d LAG from Hungary, which organises local culinary tours focused on cheese production (\u201cThe Cheese Route\u201d).<\/p>\n
In Italy, the \u201cFar Maremma\u201d LAG \u2014 a region well-known for its wines \u2014 has brought together small local wine-makers in an association that organizes vineyard site visits and works on diversifying their product range. The \u201cWendland-Elbetal\u201d LAG from Germany played a key-role in turning the eponymous region into a model for sustainable development, by making the energy used here 100% renewable. The LAGs selected for this pilot-process will work as a development \u201cumbrella\u201d, under which various local actors will join forces within their chosen activity sector. This process will engage the LAG management teams and local partners\u2014 particularly small entrepreneurs\u2014in order to create palpable solutions that can inspire and be replicated by other LAGs. The \u201cEU\u2013LEADER Innovators, LAGs as Role Models\u201d pilot-process is part of the \u201cLEADER Approach for Rural Prosperity in Moldova\u201d project, financed by the European Union and Polish Aid, implemented by Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova in partnership with the National LEADER Network in the Republic of Moldova.
