Zegrzyński Lake Local Action Group

When carrying out operations consisting in the implementation of the Local Development Strategy, under the 2007-2013 Rural Development Programme Axis 4 Leader, over PLN 10 million was transferred to the beneficiaries through LAG. The support enabled 166 projects to be completed in this area. During the programming period of 2007-2013, based on the Fisheries Operational Programme, Zegrzyński Lake Local Action Group (formerly Fishery Action Group) provided grants of over PLN 13 million for the implementation of 82 applications in order to perform the Local Strategy for Development of Fishing Areas.
Thanks to the cooperation of curious and active citizens of the LAG area, another programme under the name of "2016-2023 Strategy of Community-Led Local Development” (LDS) was created. In order to implement this strategy Zegrzyński Lake LAG has received funds of PLN 18 million – PLN 11 million as part of RDP and PLN 7 million as part of Operational Programme Fisheries and the Sea (OPFS). These funds are going to be gradually transferred to beneficiaries through announced competitions.

All projects carried out by the beneficiaries have to comply with the goals and project of the LDS. It will be possible to achieve them through the following types of operations:
• individual operations of beneficiaries other than LAGs selected by means of a tender by the LAG’s decision-making authority and forwarded to verification by the Office of the Marshal of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship,
• grant projects,
• LAG’s own operations,
• international and domestic cooperation projects.

The LDS defines the objectives, tasks and projects undertaken by representatives of the public, social and business sectors, in particular by entrepreneurs, farmers, representatives of the Fisheries sector, residents, and communes, counties, non-governmental organizations, which could be co-financed by the RDP (Rural Development Programme) and Operational Programme Fisheries and the Sea (OPFS).
