Community-led local development (CLLD) under the CSF
• Europe 2020 strategy: Territorial development on sub-regional level as a cross-cutting issue for inclusive growth
• Legal proposals for CSF Funds 2014-2020: offer a common approach to support community-led local development (single set of rules Art. 28-31 CSF Reg), complemented by funds-specific features. This
allows the integrated use of all CSF Funds on sub-regional level for implementing local development strategies (LDS)
reinforces multi-level governance
• Under the EAFRD, Leader is compulsory with a minimum of 5% of the EAFRD funding per programme. No ring-fencing for community-led local development in the other Funds.

Priorities and Consistency for CLLD
• Local development carried out by the CSF Funds shall be carried out under one or more priorities of the programme (Art. 28.5 CSF)
– EAFRD: MS are free to decide under which priority(ies) they implement Leader; however, the 6th priority directly addresses local development in rural areas
– ERDF/ESF:all actions under CLLD can be financed under the thematic objective no 9: promoting social inclusion and combating poverty (for the ESF with a dedicated investment priority); EMFF: specific objectives for CLLD
• Consistency and coordination of the support to CLLD between the CSF Funds to be ensured at all stages (Art. 28.2 CSF)
– Capacity building to build partnerships and design LDS
– Selection and approval of the LDSs (incl. setting up a joint selection committee in case of multi-funding)
– Funding of the implementation of the LDSs
Need to define implementing arrangements for CLLD in the Partnership Contract

Strategic choices of MS
• Multi-funded or mono-funded CLLD
• If multi-funded CLLDs are possible, LAGs have the option to develop multi-fund LDS
• Types of territories to be covered with CLLDs (rural, coastal, urban or combined)
• Forms of preparatory support to be used before selection of LDS (EAFRD: Leader start-up kit?)
• Design of CLLD implementation system (tasks of LAGs, use of intermediate bodies: Art. 73.2 EAFRD)

Selection/approval process of multi-funded LDS
• MS shall define citeria for the selection of LDSs. Fund-specific rules may set out selection criteria. EAFRD Reg. is not setting out selection criteria (Art. 29.2)
• Managing authorities have to set up the selection committee (joint committee in case of multi-funding) Art. 29.3
• LDS should be approved by the end of 2015 (Art. 29.4)
• The decision of approval for a LDS by the managing authority should (Art. 29.5)
– set out the allocations of each CSF Fund,
– set out the roles of the authorities responsible for the implementation of the relevant programmes for all implementation tasks relating to the strategy
• In case of multi-funded LDS MS can designate a Lead Fund to cover all management costs (Art. 28.3+4)
