We are continuing to support 3 LEADER partnerships during their transition year (2014).

‘LEADER’ is an integrated, bottom up, community-led method for delivering Rural Development Programme (RDP) funding.

With the requirements and expectations for the next programming period (2015 to 2020) now being set, we are supporting Local Action Groups across England – reviewing performance and setting out directions going forward.

This follows Rose Regeneration providing 14 partnerships with their applications to deliver LEADER (2015-2020), a National Review of LEADER 2007-2013 (for Defra), and 11 individual programme evaluations across the UK.
