What is LEADER+

LEADER+ is a European Community Initiative for assisting rural communities in improving the quality of life and economic prosperity in their local area. LEADER+ is the third LEADER Programme, and is preceded by LEADER I and II.

The LEADER+ programme runs from 2000 to 2006, and its aim is to encourage and support rural areas to think about the longer-term potential of their area. It seeks to encourage the implementation of integrated, high-quality, original strategies for sustainable development designed to encourage experimenting with new ways of:

  • Enhancing the natural and cultural heritage
  • Reinforcing the economic environment, in order to contribute to job creation
  • Improving the organisation abilities of their community
