Within the framework of the IPARD III Capacity Building Training Project for Local Action Groups (LAGs), implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, training activities on the preparation and evaluation of Local Development Strategies (LDS) under the LEADER measure are ongoing. In this context, an online training session was held on 20 August 2025 with the participation of committee members. During the meeting, a sample Local Development Strategy was reviewed, focusing on the preparation process and the contributions it provides at the local level. Participants were also presented with the scoring table to be used as a reference in the preparation and evaluation of LDS in detail. The training program concluded with answer and question session, followed by closing remarks thanking all participants.
