GAL del Ducato
Looking for Partnership Looking for Extra EU Funds
Local Action Groups (LAGs) are made up of public and private partners from the rural territory and include representatives from different socio-economic sectors. They are provided by the European Union Regulation for the local management of rural development programmes. Each LAG elaborates both the Local Development Strategy (LDS) and the Local Action Plan (LAP) for the areas in which it operates and it receives financial assistance to implement LDS by awarding grants to local projects. They are selected by the Managing Authority responsible for the management of the programme at local level.
The Local Action Group del Ducato is a not for profit organization (not performing economic activities on the market and public equivalent body) established in May 2015 with the aim to promote the economic development of Parma and Piacenza territories (Emilia-Romagna Region, North of Italy), acting both as Local Development Agency and Local Action Group according to the LEADER and Community-led local development approaches. The LAG gathers together 31 local partner organizations both public and private in the area (), including 59 Municipalities in the two Provinces (), for a total of over inhabitants and a surface of ,91 square kilometers.
