Management of the Local Development Strategy for 2023-2027 implemented by the "Valley of Noteci" Association, its monitoring, evaluation and animation.

The overarching objective of the project is to implement ERDF actions identified in the LDS by the local community including potential beneficiaries by ensuring effective management, monitoring, evaluation and animation. The main problems are defined in the LDS and concern the area of infrastructure attractive to residents and tourists. It is therefore possible to identify the main problems that affect the local community the most, and these are: insufficient tourism infrastructure and accommodation and catering facilities, as well as barriers to government policy, unstable legal and financial system, restrictive guidelines hampering the implementation of projects financed from external sources, linked to reluctance to raise funds. Inability to define and present common goals of interest and negative experiences can be further barriers. Excessive expectations of results can also have a significant impact. During the public consultation, it was concluded that it is necessary to ensure the development and modernisation of public tourism infrastructure in order to strengthen tourism. In the LAG's ranks there are entities that have the opportunity to positively influence these problems, i.e. partner municipalities, entrepreneurs (offering services: agritourism, accommodation, catering, etc.), non-governmental organisations (acting for persons with disabilities, women, seniors, children and youth and others), farmers and individuals. As a result of the public consultation, disadvantaged groups are diagnosed in the LAG area, including young people, seniors, people with disabilities, women. The local community presented the real problems and needs of local stakeholders, thanks to which it was possible to define the assumptions and objectives of the LDS. In response to the diagnosed problems in the LDS for the years 2023-2027, the LAG planned to launch and run one call under the ERDF fund in a competitive procedure in the P.2.1 Noteci Valley project attractive to residents and tourists (in the area of tourist and cultural infrastructure), in the implementation of the LDS component. The LAG undertakes to carry out the procedures for the selection of operations in a timely and correct manner. The output indicator shall be: Number of cultural and tourist facilities supported - 4 pcs. On the other hand, the result indicator: Number of visitors to supported cultural and touristic sites (visitors/year) – 500. The tourist infrastructure built in the area will contribute to the involvement of residents and tourists in active forms of tourism and recreation. The number of people will allow you to assess the rationality of the projects. Another important issue of LDS implementation, which arises from the obligations arising from the communication plan, is communication with the local community. It is a prerequisite for the effective and efficient involvement of the community in the implementation of the strategy. The planned actions under the communication plan include an information campaign on the beneficiary's communication obligations, a campaign on the main assumptions of the LDS, information and training meetings on the conditions and methods of implementing and settling projects, articles on websites, etc. As part of the project, the staff of the LAG office will provide free advice on, inter alia, the preparation of applications for support and payment claims. On an ongoing basis, records of advice provided will be kept in the form of a register or statements of entities to which advice has been provided. In addition, a satisfaction survey of applicants and beneficiaries on the quality of advice provided by the LAG will be carried out. As part of the project, evaluation and monitoring of the implementation of the strategy will be carried out, including in particular the level of achievement of the indicators specified in the strategy will be monitored on an ongoing basis. In order to effectively implement the LDS, it is necessary to finance the activities described in this project.
