Project summary: 

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. 

Project results: 
  • Successful implementation of the multi-fund CLLD approach
  • Implementation of simplified cost options (SCOs);
  • Promotional campaign to inform the national and EU organisations supported the process
