Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the influence of territorial partnerships (Local Action Groups, LAGs) that implement projects co-financed from the LEADER+ Pilot Programme (LPP) on the local population’s social and economic activity. A comparison of selected statistical indicators in communes participating and not participating in LAGs, reveals the positive influence of LAGs on some aspects of local social activity in the communes where the LPP actions were realized. The analysis also shows that financial data from formal LAG reports, as well as some statistical data, are not a fully satisfactory measure of the LAGs activity in the context of their impact on the activity of local inhabitants.
