What is LEADER? The LEADER programme (an acronym in French meaning Links between actions for the development of the rural economy) is a European Union initiative to support rural development projects initiated at the local level in order to revitalise rural areas and create jobs. What is the LAG? Decisions on LEADER funding are made at a local level by a Local Action Group (LAG), through the framework of a Local Development Strategy (LDS). A LAG is made up of people from the local community as well as from the local public and private sector. The LDS is a plan that is developed by rural communities to support sustainable development of their sub-regional area. There are three LEADER Local Action Groups (LAGs) in County Cork located in the Divisions of North, South and West. How much funding is allocated to each LAG for this programme 2014-2020? What is an Implementing Partner? Local Development Company implementing LEADER programme at local level, see table below. North Cork South Cork West Cork WHAT IS THE APPLICATION & EVALUATION PROCESS? The Application process is a two stage process: - Stage 1: Expression of Interest - Stage 2: Full Application The timing and nature of EOI calls are decided at LEADER sub-group level by the Implementing Partner in consultation with the LAG Chief Officer. The EOI form will be reviewed by the relevant Implementing Partners. Only eligible EOI’s will proceed to the full application stage. Any appeal by unsuccessful applicants must be made to the LAG in the first instance. An Evaluation Committee will assess and evaluate the application based on objective criteria and make a recommendation for funding to the Local Action Group (LAG). Projects to be recommended to the LAG will first undergo an Article 48 Audit check. The LAG will consider the Evaluation Committee recommendation and make a decision on whether to approve funding. The applicant will be notified in writing of the outcome of the Application. In-house Projects A LAG may be a beneficiary and implement projects under the LDS. These projects are known as ‘in-house’ projects and arise where the LAG or an Implementing Partner delivers a LEADER project. These are projects that are deemed important to the overall development of the area as identified in the LEADER Plan 2014-2020 for example organising a series of training programmes for local communities or businesses. What are the 3 LEADER THEMES AND 9 SUB THEMES? WHAT ARE OPEN CALLS AND TARGETED CALLS? There are two types of calls; Open calls and targeted calls. Funding applications for projects that fit under the ‘Open call’ will be accepted on a ‘first come, first served’ basis’ and are not subject to any application deadlines. Funding applications for projects that fit under the ‘targeted call’ are subject to application deadlines. Project areas covered by the targeted call will be ineligible under the ‘Open call’ process for 6 months following the closing date of the ‘targeted call’.

Provedbom reforme Zajedničke poljoprivredne politike, 1991. godine, Europska unija počela je primjenu LEADER programa (Liaison Entre Actions de Dévelopment de l’Economie Rurale), kao krovnog sveobuhvatnog programa razvoja ruralnih područja. LEADER program je inicijativa Europske unije za potporu projektima ruralnog razvoja pokrenutih na lokalnoj razini u svrhu revitalizacij ruralnih područja i stvaranja novih radnih mjesta. LEADER program odnosno pristup oslanja se na izradu i provedbu Lokalnih razvojnih strategija za razvoj ruralnih ili ribarstvenih područja (LRS/LRSR) koje omogućuju integralnu provedbu gospodarske i socijalne kohezije a provode ih Lokalne akcijske grupe ili skupine (LAG-ovi/FLAG-ovi) - partnerstva različitih interesnih skupina koja pružaju izravnu potporu lokalnim razvojnim dionicima i projektima nacionalnih razvojnih programa. LEADER mreža Hrvatske je nacionalna nevladina asocijacija (udruženje) Lokalnih akcijskih grupa/skupina-ova i potpornih organizacija/institucija isključivo iz javnog i civilnog sektora za integralni lokalni razvoj koje djeluju na nacionalnoj razini te pružaju stručnu pomoć Lokalnim akcijskim grupama/skupinama i njihovim multi-sektorskim razvojnim dionicima. Osnovana je na inicijativu 20 Lokalnih akcijskih grupa (LAG-ova) u ruralnom razvoju te 7 institucija i ogranizacija nacionalne razine djelovanja, u Karlovcu, 12. travnja 2012. godine. LEADER mrežu Hrvatske, od srpnja 2021., čini 61 član od kojih je 51 Lokalna akcijska grupa/skupina (LAG-ovi i FLAG-ovi) te 10 uglednih nacionalnih znanstveno-stručnih institucija i organizacija. 50 Lokalnih acijskih grupa/skupina odobreno je za provedbu LEADER/CLLD-a u okviru Programa ruralnog razvoja te Operativnog programa za pomorstvo i ribarstvo za Republiku Hrvatsku za razdoblje 2014.-2020. (74% svih odobrenih Lokalnih akcijskih grupa/skupina u Republici Hrvatskoj). LAG-ovi i FLAG-ovi u članstvu LEADER mreže Hrvatske obuhvaćaju: - 37.382,01 km2 površine Republike Hrvatske (65,96% ukupne površine) - 2.013.254 stanovnika (46,98% od ukupnog broja stanovnika Hrvatske) - 406 jedinica lokalne samouprave (73,15% ukupnog broja JLS u Republici Hrvatskoj; od čega 89 gradova, 70,08% od ukupnog broja gradova u RH; 317 općina, 74,07% od ukupnog broja općina u RH; u okviru čijih administrativnih granica se nalazi 5.000 naselja odnosno 73,84% svih naselja u Republici Hrvatskoj)
