In Slovenia, LEADER is implemented as part of a joint Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) approach that operates as a multi-funding system, combining EAFRD, EMFF and ERDF funding. The multi-funding approach is facilitated by a CLLD Coordination Committee.
In Slovenia, LEADER is implemented as part of a joint Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) approach that operates as a multi-funding system. It combines three different funding sources: EAFRD (€ 56.3 m), EMFF (€ 7.7 m), and ERDF (€ 37.5 m). It covers rural, fisheries, and small urban communities across the country (i.e. full territorial coverage apart from cities over 10 000 inhabitants). This case study explains the role of the CLLD Coordination Committee and how multi-funding helps LAGs develop truly multi-dimensional Local Development Strategies.
