Abstract


LEADER is an essential tool for rural development, facilitating cooperation between local actors and promoting innovation through Local Action Groups. The study analyzes the impact of skills transfer and innovation within the LAGs in the North-East Region, highlighting their role in stimulating sustainable local development. Thus, the study emphasizes the importance of partnerships between public institutions, the private sector and local communities in the implementation of development strategies, and the main barriers identified are bureaucratic constraints and limited resources. The results suggest the need for strengthened support for LAGs in order to optimize the innovation process and increase the efficiency of rural development programs.
