2023 – 2027 LEADER Programme
Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan
LEADER supports locally identified initiatives (at local or sub-regional level) that seek to address locally identified needs and challenges. It is delivered by a network of Local Action Groups (LAGs), which have been selected to implement Local Development Strategies (LDSs or Strategies) for their respective sub-regional areas. The LEADER element of the CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027 outlines a series of themes that were identified as part of research and consultations undertaken in developing the plan.
