Get inspired by project ideas that have received support

It is the people who create development on the spot!

This is what Leader is about in many ways. The local force that makes a real difference. The program period is coming to an end and the ideas that come in now are placed on a waiting list for feedback. In the Leader team, we are now visiting ongoing projects and following up on the results. Feel free to check out the investments that have been made during Our projects. If you are running a project, we want to remind you to send us pictures and updates.

Getting started

Writing an application

The final step is to submit the application to the Swedish Board of Agriculture's e-service. The Leader Team processes the application and then the board makes a decision on the application.

What is the leader method?

Local rural development

Leader is a method for rural development that was introduced by the EU in 1991. The method focuses on local roots, initiative and commitment.

Do you want to know what the Leader method means for those of you who live and work in Bohuslän? Together with an expert, we have examined the effects of 24 projects during two different program periods.
