ԾՐԱԳՐԻ ՄԱՍԻՆ՝ 
UNDP Armenia, in partnership with the RA Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure, and with financial support of the European Union, is implementing "Local Empowerment of Actors for Development (LEAD) in Lori and Tavush Regions" project, which aims at bolstering the participation of a wide range of local stakeholders in sustainable and inclusive socioeconomic development of their communities through pilot implementation of the European Union (EU) LEADER/ Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) approaches. The Project helps the local population in Lori and Tavush to play active role in inclusive, resilient and sustainable local development by strengthening mechanisms of partnership building, territorial cooperation, organizational and service development and creating better local governance through applying the principles and mechanisms of EU LEADER approach. This will happen through building trust and self-confidence, developing entrepreneur attitudes and encouraging a sense of group cohesion within communities and between regions. LEAD will help to design territorial development models, in which women and men, youth, elderly and citizen groups, including minorities, are involved in setting development agenda, decision-making and implementation. The Project's backbone is the strong partnership between different stakeholders (public, private, civil society), which eventually leads to cross-sectoral multistakeholder cooperation through Local Action Groups which are the key actors of LEADER/ CLLD initiatives formed by local partners in a bottom-up way, responsible for local development, functioning on a certain territory delineated based on economic, socio-cultural or other commonalities, who prepare and agree on territorial development strategies, and facilitate the local development process on a long term basis.
