Our partner Údarás na Gaeltachta is managing the LEADER Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2014-2020 for the Donegal Gaeltacht.

Údarás na Gaeltachta explains that the purpose of this targeted call for Expressions of Interest is to "ensure that LEADER funding is targeted where it delivers the most value, is awarded based on a comparative assessment, secures equal opportunities for all potential applicants and ensures funding is available for the duration of the programme". The call is open for:

  • Rural Towns and Broadband under the Economic/Enterprise Development & Job Creation Theme. 
  • Basic Services projects under the Social Inclusion Theme.

It is remarkable that the LEADER programme is administered by Údarás na Gaeltachta except on Gaeltacht islands, where the programme is being administered by Comhar na nOileán.
