Abstract: Local development, by means of attracting European funds, has become a priority for local authorities which, in the absence of sufficient financial resources for development, turn to partnerships with various actors in the economic and civil society to capitalize local and micro-regional potential in order to improve living conditions, to increase the quality of public services and to stimulate local initiatives. One of the partnership forms whose founding and functioning is supported by the European Union is the Local Action Group (henceforth called LAG), an associative, non-governmental form which brings together municipalities, businesses from the private sector and civil society entities within a particular geographic area. This public-private partnership is financially supported by the European Union through the National Rural Development, Axis IV, Leader, Measure 431 - Operation of Local Action Groups, acquiring skills and animating the territory.
