Déli Napfény Nonprofit Ltd. was founded in 2008 as one of the 96 Local Action Groups (LAGs) in Hungary. Its main goal is the realization of its regional development policy. Our responsibility is the coordination of projects of the LAG including 12 villages. In 2011, however, the Ltd transformed into an Association called Déli Napfény LEADER Egyesület but still functions as a LAG.

The member settlements of the LAG share similar traditions, the area is „coherent” is social, physical and economic terms. The Local Development Strategy (LDS) was created in order to preserve our local values and specialities, what is more, establishing a touristic attraction through the popularization of these traditions. Furthermore, LDS builds on linkages between sectors and actors in ways that have multiplier effect on local development and disusses several issues concernig the cooperation among public, private and civil sectors. This may result in development of living standards of the population due helping people and organizations get into the mainstream of the economic and social life.

The priorities of the LAG are the following:

1.     Sustainable rural development concerning habitat and living standards corresponding with the support of civil society.

2.     Innovation in agriculture and economy, introduction of new economic functions via tourism.
