Writing in the Regional Studies Association blog, Haris Martinos of [LDNet https://ldnet.eu/] points out that the idea of local development arose spontaneously in the 1980s before attracting the interest of EU policy-makers and being operationalised within the LEADER programme in 1991. However policy interest declined in the 2000s. After 2010 interest resurged and the ‘CLLD’ label was introduced for the 2014-2021 EU programming period. However there are fears that CLLD has lost its strategic purpose and become reduced to a bureaucracy for spending relatively small sums of public money. <ref>https://www.regionalstudies.org/news/community-led-local-development-challenges-and-opportunities/</ref>
The European Network for Rural Development lists 3,134 local action Groups.<ref>https://enrd.ec.europa.eu/leader-clld/lag-database_en</ref> The approach has been used widely across the European Union, but also in countries of the Eastern Partnership, such as Georgia.
