Training to develop the research capacity of rural CSOs for improving rural development policies was delivered in Berane and Podgorica on 19 and 22 April 2019, respectively.

Held in the framework of the EU-funded project Rural development driven by rural CSOs, and attended by representatives of NGOs, agricultural producers and cluster associations, the focus of the training was on improved techniques for writing policy briefs, advocacy and lobbying so that CSOs can improve their impact on the development of rural policies at local and national levels.

The project is being implemented by CNVP Montenegro, the Regional Development Agency for Bjelasica, Komovi I Prokletije, and the Union of Livestock Producers with the participation of the Ministry of Public Concern.
