      abstract = {This paper explores the role of “multi-level governance”  concept in the current EU rural
development policies and in  the proposals for the programming period 2014-2020.
The  main objective is to propose a methodology for the  self-evaluation of local governance with reference to the  implementation of Local Action Programs (LEADER approach).  The proposed
methodology is based on the definition of 7  “good governance key dimensions” and a
consequential set of  sub-dimensions and indicators.
The first part presents some  notions and evidences on the EU multi-system governance.  The second part is dedicated to the self evaluation  process, as a tool to enhance the rural development  assessment at local level: here a tentative test for  defining and validate the method is briefly described. The  application has been implemented in the Flanders (Belgium)  through a
focus group with experts involved in the LEADER.  Some preliminary results are reported.},
