Regional Development Agency ROD Ajdovščina was established in 1999 to promote integrated local development in the Upper Vipava Valley, later expanding its activities across the wider Goriška region in western Slovenia. The agency collaborates with various stakeholders, including businesses, municipalities, NGOs, and educational institutions, to strengthen regional capacities and foster sustainable growth. Key areas of focus include entrepreneurship support, rural and agricultural development, tourism promotion, culture, social innovation, human resources development, and international cooperation. RDA ROD has extensive experience in managing, coordinating, and implementing complex EU and nationally funded projects. It is an equal partner in regional development initiatives alongside other development institutions in Northern Primorska, forming the Regional Agency Network of Northern Primorska. The agency acts as the lead partner of the Local Action Group (LAG) "Vipava Valley" under the LEADER/CLLD programme since 2015, and since 2021, it is also a supporting member of the Covenant of Mayors. Additionally, it has been successfully implementing the national "Regional Tutelage" project in the Goriška region since 2020. Through its work, RDA ROD actively promotes inclusive and balanced regional development and serves as a reliable partner in both national and international development contexts.
