General messages
LEADER is a benchmark model Success shouldn’t be measured by spend- but
how do we measure value? LAG’s are a tool in local development, not an
objective Transnational projects expand LEADER and
develop LAGs Do LAGs want to take on any extra
funding & responsibility ?

Key messages
• The Commission will define the roles for implementation at LAG, MA and paying agency level
• Building capacity of local actors is central – clearer definition of ‘bottom-up’
• Transparent selection processes v important• Clearer linkages between LDS and projects• More technical LAG set up guidance-training will
become a more important element at LAG and staff level

Key messages[2]
• Start development of LDS asap – process can take 6-12 months to do it properly!
• Build in strategic review at outset• Be customer focused – difficult for customer
to understand complexities• Clearer definition of running costs and
animation requirements

Key messages[3]
Strategies should be developed and funding requirements added later
Will LAG’s need to become legal entities such as Development Trusts? E.g. SECAD Multi-fund Platform.

Dangers!
• LEADER becomes institutionalised• Restrictions prevent innovative and successful
projects being developed• Project animation becomes separated from
payments• Will the multi-fund approach kill the key
LEADER principles or be a saviour?
