LEADER APPROACH The LEADER approach as such, has launched already in 1991. In the 2007-2013 programming period, it was also introduced in Slovenia, where it is now integral part of the rural development policy. The purpose of LEADER approach is to enhance the development potential of rural areas, taking advantage of local resources and the active role of the local population. The basic objective of the LEADER approach is to build local capacity, improve employment, diversification of activities in rural areas, promotion of endogenous development, to improve governance in rural areas and spread of innovation. The LEADER approach is open to all interested residents of rural areas who want to find and develop local initiatives for the development of their area and participate in their implementation. These are representatives of public and private institutions at national, regional or local level, as well as all other interested members of the rural community.
