Cavan Leader Programme 2014-2020
About The Cavan LEADER Programme
Cavan LEADER wish to advice you that the Cavan LEADER programme is closed (28 April, 2022) for new Expressions of Interests at this time, as the current LEADER programme funding is almost committed with that last remaining budget being allocated to ‘Application Forms’ already in the system.
The next LEADER programme is anticipated to open towards the end of 2023 or early 2024 but we have not officially been informed what type of projects we will be in a position to fund under the new LEADER Programme. We will update you when we have more information.
LEADER promotes sustainable development in Europe’s rural areas addressing economic, social and environmental concerns. LEADER was designed to aid the development of sustainable rural communities following the reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy.
Cavan Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) has responsibility for the delivery of LEADER 2014-2022 throughout the county. The key implementation partner is Cavan County Local Development (CCLD). During the period of the programme, LEADER invested in qualifying innovative community and private enterprise projects in County Cavan.
