2.13 LEADER ‘07-’13: Lessons Learned!

• Process was labour intensive and requires stream-lining
• A “Guide Book” for applicants/promoters required
• Forum for pre-evaluation of projects would be useful
• Cohesive approach to Project development between agencies e.g. Local

Authority departments etc

• Strict limit on Project time-extensions (max 3 months) required
• Training for LAG members, Sub-committee members and staff on the

Operational Rules of the Programme to ensure all understand the regulations both National and European as applies to LEADER.

• Training in Public Procurement Procedures for staff and LAG
