New guidelines for EU funding: How to secure your project in Pfaffenhofen!

New guidelines for EU funding: How to secure your project in Pfaffenhofen!

The "Local Action Group" (LAG) for the district of Pfaffenhofen recently published a useful brochure that acts as a guide for the "Leader" EU support program. With this 20-page publication, the group would like to support project sponsors and accompany them optimally through the funding process. The guideline is available both accessible online and in printed form and is entitled "The way to project funding".

Overall, the guide is divided into three central phases: First, it is about the development of the project idea up to the application for funding. This is followed by the permit phase from the approval. Last but not least, the period from the project to the payment is also considered. There are short subchapters for applicants who treat requirements and application forms in detail and provide valuable information so that you can find your way around the "Leader" program. If you have any questions, the LAG office is available to the applicants throughout the process.

facility and goals of leader

leader is not a fresh wind, but a proven EU. It was originally introduced to cope with failed top-down approaches to solve rural problems. The abbreviation Leader stands for "Liaison Entre Actions de Développement de l’économie rural", and its main goal is to use local actors as an engine of development. The focus is on local action groups (LAG), which consist of various representatives of the population and civil society organizations.

An important part of the leader approach is to develop a local development strategy that is developed together with the population. This strategy defines central topics, fields of action and clear goals for the region. In this way, the quality of life in rural areas is not only preserved, but significantly improved.

variety of projects and promotion of culture

The promotion of leader is broad. Projects in various areas, including the cultural heritage, can be supported if they promote transformation processes in rural areas. Projects with a cultural reference are very popular and range from youth film academies to cross-border festivals to inclusive dance projects that strengthen cooperation in the community.

In addition, small and medium -sized companies, municipalities and municipal institutions as well as associations and associations can submit applications. This variety of authorized institutions ensures broad participation and creation of local solutions.

the look into the future

With the LEADER program, it is not only worked on the present. The initiative has always developed to meet the challenges of rural areas. A continuous improvement and adaptation of the leader approach are necessary in order to act as the motor of change and to be able to offer innovative solutions for local problems.

As the LAG Pfaffenhofen and other groups in Germany show, the leader approach is also a good example of integrating new ideas and a stronger networking of local partners in the region. The EU funding program has opened up first-class possibilities to secure and further expand the quality of life and cultural diversity in rural areas. If you want to learn more about the guide, you can download it directly under the title "The way to project funding" on the LAG website or request a printed copy.
