The Leader Method

What is the leader method?

The Leader method is based on cooperation, local initiatives and local conditions. The method was introduced within the EU in 1991. Rural development of your particular place is most effectively carried out by those of you who live and work here.

Leader is an abbreviation of the French phrase Liaison Entre Actions de Développement de l'Économie Rurale. Which means coordinated activities for economic development in rural areas.
