The study of the partnership organization mechanism (POM) aims to answer the question of how an organization manages the mechanical operation of the partnership and how the partnership system shapes itself in order to achieve a fairer balance across all junctions of the POM, through shafts connected into a single mechanism. The study has led to a deeper understanding of the empirical operation of the POM and has led to the identification of 20 POM configuration principles, the harmonization of which, in accordance with the principle of coherence, enables sustainability to be achieved and managed. The study is exploratory and therefore empirical facts supporting theoretical insights were sought. The information database of the study consists of 5-year observation data of Lithuanian local action groups, exploratory survey data and in-depth interviews for verification of the phenomenon. The empirical study allowed us to verify the theoretical operation of the POM and helped us to determine the content and purpose of the relationships between different groups of stakeholders in the region. A total of 10 POM empirical models have been detected, which confirmed the fundamental thesis of the study that sustainability can be managed by ensuring the harmonious operation of the system and by controlling the level of system coherence.

The aim of the study is to analyse Local Action Groups as organizations capable of creating space for environmental education. The first part describes the different approaches to adult education and forms of learning. In this context, Local Action Groups are analysed as learning communities and organizations. The specificity of the operation of Local Action Groups is based on a combination of formal and three-sector partnerships and partnerships with residents. On the one hand, these partnerships are used to manage public funds for rural development, but the sense of establishing them is deeper. LAG members and management themselves come from the local community and should broadly represent its interests, but also to activate, engage and create space for the development of ideas, ideas and projects. The work methodology is based on research carried out as part of the expertise commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, especially on information obtained from individual in-depth interviews (IDI), on the basis of which detailed case studies of selected LAGs were described. The existing data were also analysed - RDP documentation, reports, and quantitative data obtained from the CAWI survey. The conclusions of the analysis show that Local Action Groups have the potential to create learning environments and transfer the assumptions of the Leader approach, especially bottom-up approaches and to promote participation in decisions on local development directions, but they do not fully use it.

Action Groups

Local Action Groups (LAGs) represent a dynamic platform for inter-municipal cooperation in Europe. Their principal advantages include EU funding and the capacity to generate economic returns and stimulate the development of local communities. The methodology used for the evaluation of the performance of LAGs is defined by the EU on the one hand and by national authorities on the other. Furthermore, there are an entire array of evaluation tools and academic experiments available. The present paper does not aim at a comprehensive evaluation of LAGs, but instead only examines the technical efficiency of LAGs. Using the Czech Republic as an example, the paper introduces an evaluation tool to measure the technical efficiency of LAGs and describes how it can be applied. The adoption of this tool is seen as a means of improving one of the parameters of the performance of LAGs.

The influence of a formal and informal system of the Local Action Group (LAG) board’s performance on the perception of its members is analysed in association with the suitability of the rural development projects for the LEADER funds co-financing. The unique in-depth survey data was obtained from the surveys with the 103 LAG board’s members using the written questionnaire designed for the inquiry and from the existing data analysis on projects which were co-financed by the LEADER funds in Slovenia in the years 2008 and 2009. The informal system of performance of the LAG board members was found to influence significantly its members’ perception on the suitability of projects to be co-financed by the LEADER axis. The opposite was established for the formal system, which had an insignificant influence on the board members’ perception on the suitability of projects.
