LEADER Programme
LEADER provides grants for projects that will benefit the rural areas and communities of West Lothian. The funding programme will run from 2008 to 2011. LEADER is part of the new Scottish Rural Development Programme (SRDP) aimed at promoting economic and community development within rural areas. LEADER stands for: Liaison Entre Actions pour le Développement de L'Economie Rurale (links between actions for the development of the rural economy).
