Attention Mayo PPN member organisations!
Mayo Local Action Group (LAG) are responsible for the implementation of the LEADER Programme in County Mayo. The LEADER programme is a key intervention of Our Rural Future, the Government’s Policy for rural development launched in 2021, which aims to deliver a wide range of actions to rural communities over the lifetime of the policy. LEADER is a community-led approach to local development funded through Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan 2023 – 2027.
Mayo LAG are in the process of setting up their Independent Evaluation Committee (IEC). This committee is established for the purposes of assessing and evaluating LEADER funding applications submitted by project promoters. The Evaluation Committee makes recommendations to the LAG as regards the suitability of projects for funding based on objective criteria. This is a voluntary role.
