Rationale for intervention


The continuing change in farming patterns allied to a need to provide alternative employment and enterprise options to rural dwellers gives rise to the need to focus on the economic development of rural resources. Sectors utilising natural resources need to be targeted through innovative measures. Development of micro-enterprise under this heading is closely linked with economic actions under other headings in the axis such as under rural/agri-tourism, environmentally friendly initiatives and alternative energy. Actions here must also, where relevant, support and reinforce the economic impact of similar economic interventions under the other axes.
Objective of the measure

To position rural areas to provide economic activity of sufficient mass to attract people to live and work there and so offer a counter balance to the economic pull of Gateway towns that are the focus for development under the National Spatial Strategy.


Content:

  • Provision for a range of assistance types for start-up enterprises and expansion of existing enterprises including the adoption of new technologies

  • Development of innovative products and activities

  • The provision of a range of assistance types for adding value to local products, including support for business networks, collective marketing, local branding initiatives, and improved quality and development of artisan processing facilities

  • Support for the utilisation of local ICT capacity, for example centralised online processing of micro-enterprise administrative activities

  • Actions to foster rural entrepreneurship, particularly combined with support for small-scale research, analysis and development.

It is a requirement under this measure that a sectoral agreement exists between the Local Action Group and the relevant County Enterprise Board. Where appropriate and by mutual consent, this can be a continuation of the agreement in place under the LEADER programme 2000—2006.
