A recent ENRD workshop (21-22 June 2018 – Sofia, Bulgaria) explored the implementation of the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) and preparations for the upcoming performance review of ESIF programmes  in 2019.

The event featured presentations, group discussions and a panel session to exchange experience and practical examples on RDP implementation blockages and successful strategies and tools for overcoming them, and on preparations by Managing Authorities/Paying Agencies for the performance review exercise for RDPs. It concluded with an exchange on what can be improved in the future, post 2020.
