Abstract: The article introduces activities of local action groups (LAGs) in the Czech Republic. Attention is focused on the history of LAGs, evaluation of LAGs' activities in the 2007-2013 period and preparation for the 2014-2020 period. Although this period has already started, drawing on subsidies is still lagging behind. Evaluation of LAGs is based on a questionnaire survey among LAGs, information on grants from "Axis 4 - Leader" of Rural Development Programme for the period 2007-2013, content analysis of several Strategies of Community Led Local Development prepared for the current programming period and experience from the creation of several Strategies. The paper also identifies problems of the LAGs (not only in the Czech Republic) and suggestions how to avoid them in the recent programming period.
