The relevant authority must promote, in accordance with their institutional and legal framework and with Article 32 the development of local and sub-regional approaches. Community-led local development must be implemented in the context of a strategic approach to ensure that the “bottom-up” definition of local needs takes account of priorities set at a higher level. The relevant authority must therefore define the approach to community-led local development in its rural development programme.
