The LEADER Network actively advocates for the integration of the Smart Villages concept into Bulgarian policies, particularly within the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) Strategic Plan
LEADER organizes training sessions and working groups aimed at building capacity among Local Action Groups (LAGs). This support helps LAGs develop local development strategies that incorporate smart village principles, fostering innovation and community engagement
The association encourages LAGs to undertake pilot projects that demonstrate the viability of smart village concepts. These projects serve as models for broader implementation across rural areas in Bulgaria, showcasing innovative solutions to local challenges
