Discover the framework, challenges, and outcomes of Hungary's LEADER Programs from 2001 to 2010. Eszter Varga from the Hungarian Agricultural Economics Research Institute delves into the theoretical background, timeline, figures, evaluation, planning, implementation, and criticisms in the context of EU experiences. Uncover key features, steps of implementation, and the critical role of capacity building, local actors, territory analysis, and partnership creation. Dig into the insights on pre-prepared menus, infrastructural needs, lobby interests, application systems, international cooperation, and roles of the center in local development strategy planning. Explore the complex realities of implementation with financial pressures, perceptions of EU funding, time constraints, legal frameworks, and the operational challenges faced by Local Action Groups (LAGs) within the two rural development subsystems. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the successes, setbacks, and budgetary criticisms encountered during Hungary's LEADER Programs.
