Innovation is a key aspect of the LEADER programme and enables communities and businesses to initiate innovative approaches to tackle issues of rural disadvantage, unemployment, enterprise development, climate change and protection of the environment. It plays an important role in supporting job creation, social inclusion and environmental projects at local level. Commenting on the launch of the 2023-2027 LEADER funding, CEO of Longford Community Resources, Adrian Greene said; “LEADER will give our local communities and enterprises an opportunity to respond to the emerging challenges for their areas and will support measures that provide employment, job creation and social inclusion throughout County Longford.” In preparation for this programme Longford Community Resources, in conjunction with Longford Local Community Development Committee, carried out an extensive consultation process across Co Longford resulting in a Local Development Strategy with a set of objectives reflective of the needs expressed by communities and businesses in Co Longford. The objectives cover the key areas in need of the greatest support and are sufficiently broad and flexible to facilitate funding a wide range of projects.
