The Association for Supporting Rural Development - ASDR
Our goal is to conceive, promote and implement means of supporting the development of rural communities by determining individuals living in rural areas, or connected to rural areas, to actively participate in our association’s actions.
ASDR aims at creating a linkage point between those remaining and those departing the village, so as they could mutually accomplish positive transformations for the rural communities, while preserving village values, beauties and traditions.
The Association was founded in November 2004 and formally registered in January 2005.
The Association acts under the provisions of Government Emergency Order no.26/2000 concerning associations and foundations, as a Romanian private legal entity, non-profit fund or patrimonial, independent and with no governmental affiliation.
It was recorded in the Associations and Foundations Register by the Civil Court decision no.21/05.01.2005 issued by Cluj Court House.
