| Description | The action will provide support to the Regional Rural Development Standing Working Group (SWG) in South Eastern Europe. The SWG is an intergovernmental organisation operating in the field of agriculture and rural development. The focus of its activities is related to economic development of rural cross-border areas in the Western Balkans by facilitating regional cooperation between rural stakeholders (local government, civil society and private sector). The main benefit for the IPA II beneficiaries is socio-economic development of rural cross-border areas resulting in an increased quality of life of citizens living in those areas. The main benefit for the European Union lies in further reconciliation and good neighbourly relations in the region, thereby ensuring peace and stability in a wider Europe. |
