Since its launch in 1992, LEADER has provided rural communities, across
the EU, with the resources to enable Local Action Groups together with Local Partners to
actively engage and direct the local development of their area, through a community-led
local development. LEADER has three Rural Development Programmes
and eight sub-themes:
Theme 1: Economic
Development, Enterprise Development and Job Creation.
Sub-themes: Rural
Tourism, Enterprise Development, Rural Town.
Theme 2: Social
Inclusion
Sub-themes: Basic
services targeted at hard to reach communities and Rural Youth.
Theme 3: Rural
Environment
Sub-themes: Protection and sustainable use of water
resources, Protection and improvement of local bio-diversity and Development of
renewable energy.
A guide to LEADER in Wicklow is available to download
from www.wicklowpartnership.ie
Calls for Expressions
of Interest (EOIs) will be sought across the various LEADER themes and
subthemes at different times throughout 2016 to 2020. Should you wish to submit an Expression of
Interest under a time specific / targeted call you must do so by the date
specified. Only EOIs deemed eligible
will then be invited to submit a full application. These calls will be
advertised in local media and on the County Wicklow Partnership website www.wicklowpartnership.ie.
County Wicklow Partnership is now seeking Expressions of Interest
from those seeking support under the LEADER / Rural Development
Programme. The LEADER Programme is now operating time limited / targeted
calls for applications. This is a two stage process. Stage 1 is the Call for
Expressions of Interest (EOIs) and Stage 2 is the Application
Stage.
EOI forms are
available to download on www.wicklowpartnership.ie or by email from info@wicklowpartnership.ie or by contacting 0402 20955.
