Service Description
You can receive support for projects in rural areas through the LEADER funding program. You must apply for this funding. According to the ILE funding guidelines, the standard funding rate for LEADER project funding is up to 65% of eligible expenditure; in exceptional cases, this may vary and be up to 80%. The regional action groups (RAGs) themselves determine the level of funding in their strategies.
What is funded?
- Preparatory costs (as part of an application to become a RAG during the recognition procedure at the beginning of a funding period)
- Projects to implement the regional development strategy
- Cross-regional and transnational cooperation
- Administration and awareness-raising
Process flow
The administrative procedure is divided into the areas of selection procedure/application procedure, disbursement and verification of the use of funds, including award checks.
A special feature of LEADER is that the projects to be funded are selected by the LEADER Regional Action Groups (RAG).
Who should I contact?
Please contact the LEADER RAG regional action groups in whose action area the project is to be implemented.
