The Pays du Grand Bergeracois european LEADER programme

What is the Leader Program?

Leader, which means “Links among Actions for Rural Economic Development”, is a local development program, co-financed by the European Union, for the benefit of the Greater Bergerac Area. Europe recognizes it as a Local Action Group (LAG) until 2013.
Through these means, many project initiators can be supported to undertake innovative initiatives for rural development.
We want this program to have a true host policy, targeting the preservation, arrival and integration of populations, and therefore activities, in a long-term way.
Do you have a project or maybe just an idea? Don’t hesitate to contact us.
The Leader program will help you!

A Proactive Strategy
By establishing a host policy for people and businesses, the Grand Bergerac Area’s Leader program will meet the following challenges:
- Ensuring the quality of life and maintaining the balance among different uses of rural areas
- Developing new sources of employment,
- Meeting new needs of the population in terms of service
- Controlling and increasing our territory’s attractiveness
- Expanding and sharing our project with other territories through cooperation.
