LEADER: testing innovative services for a better life in the area
The action supports modernising services, testing new responses to residents’ needs and the attractiveness of sectors facing recruitment difficulties. The beneficiaries cited include public bodies, local authorities, associations, foundations, educational and research institutions, farms and economic players, depending on the action sheet. The exact list must be checked.
This action targets projects that concretely improve quality of life: better-distributed services, mobile or remote solutions, support for vulnerable groups, well-being at work and suitable forms of housing. The application must specify the current problem, the people concerned and how the project complements existing services. Experiments benefit from planning observable results and a strategy for continuing beyond the aid.
