Abstract
Intersectoral partnership challenges the new rural development programming period and requires innovative and rapid management decisions which creates synergy and add value. This paper aims at examining the methodological principles of rural development synergy evaluation. This research attempts to take a closer look at the theoretical assumptions behind different concepts of the rural development management process and the importance of synergy. On the grounds of the key findings, propositions have been made regarding rural development management synergy evaluation.
Highlights
The pace of societal changes and the dynamic socio-economic situation, affected by globalization, force decision makers to look for new, knowledge and technology based, rural development policy measures
The rural development solutions implemented during the 2007-2013 programming period as well as best practices can be considered a big step towards identifying new development opportunities
Regional-rural development is influenced by weak management solutions, which are mostly unfounded by regional-rural complex evaluation based on social and economic outcomes
Summary
The pace of societal changes and the dynamic socio-economic situation, affected by globalization, force decision makers to look for new, knowledge and technology based, rural development policy measures. The results of Kvedaravičius, Malinauskas (2008), Kanišauskas (2008), Smilga (2005), Moriarty (1996), Corning (1995) studies have revealed that, on the basis of the synergistic approach, each system responds to external changes, management decisions are important as much as they have potential, and how the system is able to function without external energy, information, material and tangible and intangible resources. In this case, the rural development management techniques could be purposefully chosen. The principles of rural development have been formulated in the Cork Declaration (1996), the LEADER Programme (LEADER I (1991-1994), LEADER II (1995-1999), LEADER+ (2000-2006), LEADER (2007-2013)) (Navasaitienė et al, 2006; Atkočiūnienė et al, 2004)
