The EU CAP Network is organising a ‘Workshop on Engagement of Rural Stakeholders in NRPP Development’ over one day on 8 October at the Glenview Hotel, Wicklow, Ireland.
The workshop will bring together Managing Authorities (MAs), National Networks (NNs) and rural stakeholders from across the EU. It will focus on how MAs and NNs can ensure that stakeholders from rural areas can effectively participate in the preparation of NRPPs and be key partners in the overall approach for the preparation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the NRPP. Participants in the workshop will present experiences and exchange insights into effective engagement with rural stakeholders and the key role of NNs in the development of NRPPs, reflecting on lessons learnt from the design of CAP Strategic Plans. They will also consider the involvement of rural stakeholders in NRPP governance.
The objectives of the workshop are to:
- Discuss how MAs can effectively engage with rural stakeholders to inform the design of their NRPPs, including the CAP elements, following on from lessons learned in the design of the CAP Strategic Plans (CSPs) and other EU funding programmes under previous programming periods.
- Explore the role of NNs in engaging rural stakeholders in shaping the next NRPPs.
- Share insights into existing and novel approaches to stakeholder participation and outreach in relation to the planned NRPP preparations in different Member States.
- Consider the effective involvement of rural stakeholders in the governance of NRPPs at the national and regional level, e.g. Monitoring Committees.
The working language will be English, and participation is free of charge.
This workshop is invite-only. The closing date for registrations is 26 August 2026.
