The animation of the economic potential of the Daugava river basin, exploration of the Daugava water tourism route and the collective work of daugavieši for the future of Latvia.

About the project

We are eight local action groups or partnerships on both sides of the Daugava, which implement local development strategies and divert EU support for rural areas to exactly where it is needed by using the LEADER approach.

Our goal is to increase the economic potential of the area around the Daugava, to encourage tourism activities, business development and employment.

From July 2018 to May 2019, in collaboration with 21 local authorities, economic operators, travel agencies, NGOs and other strategic partners, we will organise more than 30 research activities related to the development of the economic potential of the Daugava river basin. First, the Daugava water tourism route exploration expedition takes place from 24 July to 5 August. A single map, available to everyone, will be made for the water tourism route of the biggest river in Latvia. Then eight meetings of daugavieši will be held with the local authorities and we will encourage the formation of partnerships between Daugava local authorities. Together we will create the calendar of works and possibilities of the Daugava.
