A report by the Italian NRN gathers good practices and solutions by Local Action Groups (LAGs) in Italy to face the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To respond to the crisis and prepare the aftermath, LAGs can further develop their work on a variety of topics, including: basic services, neighborhood shops, social innovation, production and marketing networks, sharing economy, bioeconomy and circular economy, smart villages, experiential and sustainable tourism. LEADER offers opportunities for community projects and also umbrella projects. The keywords should be continuity and simplification (especially for small projects and the adoption of simplified costs).
