LEADER is a community-led approach to local development funded through Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan 2023 – 2027.
It has been operating in Ireland since its commencement in 1991 and has evolved through five successive programming periods to become a key intervention within EU rural development policy.
LEADER supports private enterprises and community groups who improve the quality of life and economic activity in rural areas. It is delivered by a network of Local Action Groups (LAGs) selected to implement Local Development Strategies for their respective geographical areas.
