Local development strategy

The Leader method is a method for developing the area based on local conditions. In each Leader area, the private, non-profit, and public sectors jointly develop a local development strategy where they agree on which investments should be prioritized during each EU program period. The Swedish Board of Agriculture approves the development strategy for the area, and the strategy serves as a governing document for the processing of applications. Approved projects should contribute to fulfilling the purposes and goals described in the strategy. 

In our activity reports below, you can read about what we have done over the years and which projects we have approved to meet the goals in the development strategy for our Leader area.
