“…The main goal of Leader 2007-2013 was to build social capital by stimulating the activity of rural communities and their involvement in development processes of the area they live in. It was the bottom-up approach to rural development that made this initiative stand out from other rural support instruments [Shuckshmith 2000, Lukesch 2007, Kalisiak-Mędelska 2013, Dax et al 2016, Cañete et al 2018. As a result of implementing Leader, new entities emerged in the form of local action groups in the countryside, which brought together representatives from various sectors: public, private and social [Kalisiak-Mędelska 2013, Lopolito et al 2015.…”

“…Research conducted so far shows that local action groups are important entities actively working for the socio-economic development of rural areas in Poland [ Kołodziejczak 2011, Kalisiak-Mędelska 2013, Turek 2013, Wojewódzka-Wiewiórska 2019, also in areas most important to the community [Turek 2013], often not yet supported or only supported to a slight extent [Ledzion et al 2016]. Their activities complement the existing model of local development management [Navarro et al 2016] mainly based on the actions of local authorities.…”

The study shows the importance of projects implemented in the 2007-2013(5) perspective under the existence of a local action group for rural development on the example of the Płock Region Development Association. Based on the analysis of projects implemented by all beneficiaries in 6 communes of the Płock district, the size and directions of funds allocation by the commune were determined. Inhabitant opinions on the effects of the implemented projects were presented. In total, PLN 8,840 thousand was spent on implementing 91 projects. Most funds were spent in the Bielsk commune (PLN 197.18 per capita), and least funds in the Stara Biała commune (PLN 110.91 per capita). Completed projects constituted significant support for rural development and improved the quality of life of residents. The subjects of the projects were very diverse. The largest share in expenditure was spent on the development of a social infrastructure and the organization of local events in line with the objectives of the local development strategy. Directions for spending funds differed between communes; rural community centers were built and modernized in all communes. The importance of projects involving the creation and development of micro enterprises and the diversification of the local economy was insignificant. Residents have noticed the effects of the implemented projects and take advantage of them, but do not associate them with the functioning of the local action group.

The literature on cross-border cooperation in Europe is predominated by the analysis of the European Union (EU) INTERREG Programmes’ results, while other support funds are often neglected. To fill this research gap, the authors undertook the research on cross-border cooperation of the area-based partnerships (Local Action Groups – LAGs) from Poland and the Czech Republic, financed by the Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) 2014–2020. The main purpose of our paper is to identify the rationales for cooperation, strategies to find partners, the scope of activities and obstacles in implementing the joint projects. The qualitative research involved a content analysis of LAG documents and interviews with LAG managers. The actions in twelve identified cooperation projects were mainly related to local traditions, inventory and the promotion of local products and services, the development of tourism and environmental issues. The respondents have emphasised that these actions required separate financing by national RDPs following different administrative rules, even though when constituting the components of a single project. The bureaucratic restrictions resulted in a clear asymmetry of LAGs activities, manifested in a lower involvement of the Czech LAGs. As a result, many projects can be considered as highly unilateral, solely national rather than genuinely international, which has not been the intention of the LAG managers, however.
