Summary/Abstract: Evaluation of local action groups is an issue that has been put aside for a long time. It is a highly specific area, as each LAG, whether we want to admit it or not, originated differently. Areas that a LAG consider essential, can be seen as quite marginal by another. LAGs often have different goals because the regions have always been heterogeneous, and thus their activity has often been very different. Although a part of the platform of the LAGs has initiated the introduction of an assessment as the equivalent of determining the quality, it is obvious that in this case the initiative has been related to a problem. The paper therefore tries to outline a new perspective on the evaluation of LAGs, but also to focus on the current standard evaluation process, specified for the region of South Bohemia. A new evaluation of this important player in the development of the region, including both the public and the private sector, is also associated with a motivational extension, or some sort of bonus points, which could be used for by the Region to reallocate funds for small projects, supporting cultural activities in rural areas.
