Miestny rozvoj vedený komunitou ako integrovaný nástroj podpory spolupráce a miestneho ekonomického rozvoja

Abstract

Community Led Local Development is a tool for involving local actors in decision making of social, economic and environmental development of their territory during the Programming period 2014 – 2020. This approach enable to enforce own local solutions for the problems of rural areas and use local development potential. These solutions are realized by local people and are sustainable in the long term period. European Structural and Investment Funds should therefore be used to addressing specific local problems with the sustainable use of local potential and resources. The object of this article is CLLD and its implementation in the current programming period in the Slovak Republic. The paper is focused on theoretical works and studies and is aimed to analyze the theoretical background of the issue and the real implementation of this approach. An important fact is that the CLLD strategies should have been fully implemented in Local Action Groups by this time. Due to the various issues described in this paper there is a possibility that the potential of this tool would not be fully used in the Slovak Republic during this programming period.
