The project aims to tackle cross-border challenges related to the management and use of rivers that flow through communities in the programme area. These challenges affect both Local Action Groups (LAGs) "Tartu County Development Association" and "Sea Land".

By working together, these groups can connect rural areas, share resources, knowledge, and best practices, and improve river management.

Project Objective:

The project seeks to develop and implement a joint strategy and action plan for the integrated, synchronized, and complementary development of River Gauja and River Emajõgi.

The focus will be on:

  • Sustainable use of natural resources
  • Preserving heritage and attractions
  • Supporting economic activities while respecting environmental regulations
     

Expected Results:

  • A joint strategy and action plan for river management and development.
  • Two joint solutions based on insights from at least eight pilot actions.
  • Benefits for local governments, LAG member organizations, and the wider community.
