What is LEADER?
The LEADER Programme helps local people design and deliver projects that create jobs, encourage inclusion, and strengthen rural areas. Funded through Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan and the EAFRD, LEADER is delivered by Local Action Groups who work with communities to identify local needs and drive sustainable local development. Eligible applicants include
Individuals | Rural Business | Farmers & Farm Families | Community Groups | Social Enterprises & Cooperative Societies
