“…A rich body of literature is available on issues related to the cooperation of various stakeholders within LAGs and the local strategies which they implement (Cejudo & Navarro, 2020;Rodriguez et al, 2019;Moseley, 2003), yet the question of the compliance of local strategies formulated by local stakeholders (with NGO participation) with the pan-European goals expressed in the Europe 2020 strategy -which is also related to the concept of Europeanisation (Dąbrowski, 2012;Székely, 2017) -is dedicated much less academic attention. Numerous studies indicate that EU funds are not always utilised in accordance with the strategies and rules defined by their policymakers (European Court of Auditors, 2010), and are not invariably conducive to levelling unequal development (Canete et al, 2018;Chruscinski et al, 2019).…”

The 1990s saw a considerable facilitation of the concept of area-based cooperation between stakeholders from the public, economic and social sectors in the European Union (EU) with regard to local resource management. EU support programmes have given rise to community-based partnerships referred to as Local Action Groups (LAGs), in which the stakeholders involved formulate local development strategies, the implementation of which is subsequently made possible through the external financial support of EU funds. This paper illustrates an attempt to assess the extent to which local strategies are consistent with the EU's Europe 2020 strategy, using the example of 27 LAGs from two Polish provinces. Text mining and content analysis are two methods employed herein. The analysis served to establish that the dominant issues for rural areas, that are correspondent to the Europe 2020 strategy, revolve around increasing employment, educating local communities and combating poverty through the use of social inclusion methods, with much less attention dedicated to the issues of greenhouse gas emission reduction and renewable energy development. The strategies in question emphasise innovation with regard to planned activities, insofar as it is perceived at the local level, which usually bears no relation to methodical research and development (R&D) work.

The shortcomings of top-down policies for rural development underscore the importance of local potentials and the role of citizens who are perceived as taking a more active role in shaping the future of rural areas. The engagement of the local population is facilitated by digitally-supported forms of civic participation. These technological services, in particular, should reach younger target groups. This shift toward citizen-centred approaches in rural development is manifested on the EU level in programs like LEADER, as well as in country-specific or regional initiatives. In our contribution, we draw on three case studies from Germany in order to make suggestions for local actors on how to foster citizen participation in a ‘smart’ way.
