Monaghan Integrated Development is preparing a Local Development Strategy for delivery of the new LEADER programme due to operate over the period 2023 to 2027. It is anticipated that the new programme shall open for applications in Q4 2023 and we are keen to build on achievements of our delivery of previous programmes over the past 31 years.  Funding will be available for both private and community based projects.  There will be a particular focus on job creation, climate action, Smart villages/towns and digital transformation in rural areas. It is envisaged the new programming round will focus on the EU agenda of A Smarter Europe, a Greener Europe and Digital transformation in particular and new more innovative approaches to rural development. In order to decide how this funding can best be used within the County a Local Development Strategy document is being prepared.
