Description
Summary:Rural Local Action Groups are funded under LEADER through the Rural Development Programmes of the Member States over the last 30 years in order to cover two categories of needs: mainly, for financially supporting the best projects in their own territories that meet local needs, and secondly for ensuring their own running and animation costs. In the literature there are numerous papers dealing with the main allocation of funding, analysed at European, national or regional level, but very few articles that analyse the second component of financing. The paper presents an analysis of the situation of running and animation expenses carried out by the Romanian LAGs during the period 2017 - 2021 and, in the context of the elaboration of new programmatic documents for the next financing period, proposes variants of simplification and reorganization of budget chapters, that leads not only to administrative burden reduction, but also to a better local strategy implementation.
