About the LEADER Programme
KLP is pleased to announce the LEADER 2023- 2027. KLP launched the new programme on the 15th April in the Medieval Mile Museum, Kilkenny. Guest Speaker Minister Malcolm Noonan T.D. for Carlow-Kilkenny, Minister of State for Heritage and Electoral Reform attended and reiterated the important role that LEADER has played County-wide. LEADER is a ‘bottoms up’ approach to rural and community development. This EU wide Rural Development Programme is a crucial initiative aimed at enhancing the well-being of rural communities. The program provides funding, support, and guidance to local communities and businesses in rural areas, with a focus on economic and social development and environmental sustainability. Overall, the Rural Development Programme plays a critical role in promoting vibrant, sustainable rural communities throughout the County Kilkenny.
