Summary/Abstract: Leader is an approach to rural development, which involves bottom-up development of the local rural strategies by local communities and the fulfillment of its innovative projects combining the resources, knowledge and skills of representatives of three sectors: public, economic and social. These representatives form the so-called local active group – cross-sectoral partnership, which chooses the projects independently and the implementation of these projects contributes to the achievement of objectives of jointly developed strategy. Such an approach will strengthen bottom-up decisions taken locally, raise the quality of management and will contribute to strengthening social capital in rural communities and encourage the use of innovative approaches in the development of the region.
