Looking Towards the New LEADER programme in Co. Meath

With a project budget of €4.05 million for County Meath, Meath Partnership, on behalf of the Meath Local Community Development Committee, has finalised and submitted to the Department of Rural and Community Development the LEADER Local Development Strategy (LDS) 2023-2027, which sets out the roadmap for LEADER investment over the next 5 years.

As part of the draftiing of the strategy, Meath Partnership sought to engage with as many individuals, community organisations and enterprises as possible to give voice to your views on how LEADER funding should be invested and to enable your wishes to be captured within the Strategy.

We would now like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the communities, organisations and businesses that attended our public consultations and stakeholders meetings, and to those that made submissions for the LDS. Your engagement means that the Local Development Strategy is inclusive and representative of the hopes, aspirations and wishes of the citizens of Co. Meath.

Once approved by the DRCD, the LDS will be made available on our website.

As we await the start of the new LEADER Programme towards the end of 2023, we invite you to send in your project enquiries to us on the form below. Please also check out the slides below for more information.

If you would like to discuss the programme in greater detail, or if you would like to discuss your own project, please contact the LEADER team by emailing leader@meathpartnership.ie or by phone on 046-9280790.
