ENRD Workshop on 'Addressing Bottlenecks in RDP Implementation and Preparing for the Performance Review'

This ENRD workshop explored the implementation of the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programmes (RDPs), bottlenecks that have been faced so far and ways of addressing them, as well as preparations for the upcoming RDP performance review in 2019.

The first day of the event featured presentations, group discussions, and practical examples on RDP implementation bottlenecks and successful strategies and tools for overcoming them. The second day included optional field visits to local EAFRD-supported projects.

The event was intended for RDP Managing Authorities and Paying Agencies.
