LEADER funding

LEADER (French for “Liaison entre actions de développement de l'économie rurale,” meaning “Link between actions for the development of the rural economy”) is a European Union funding program that has been supporting innovative model initiatives in rural areas since 1991. Local action groups develop development strategies on the ground. The goal is to support Europe’s rural regions on their path toward self-sustaining development.
