About us
Leader Sjuhärad is a non-profit organization. We work with rural development in Sjuhärad's eight municipalities by granting project support based on the Leader method.
Our focus
Rural development
Leader is a method where business, non-profit and public parties work together to develop their place. The idea is that development of the place you live is best carried out by those of you who live and work there – by you, your association, local businesses and other organizations. You are also the ones who know what needs and challenges need to be met.
Through Leader, it is possible to seek support for development projects that contribute to the goals of the Leader area's strategy.
Leaders are available all over Sweden and more information about the leader method can be found on our joint website.
Sjuhärad is our area
Our strategy
Each leader area has a local development strategy that forms the basis for development in the area. Our area includes the municipalities of Bollebygd, Borås, Herrljunga, Mark, Svenljunga, Tranemo, Ulricehamn and Vårgårda.
The strategy forms the framework for our work and governs how we can distribute Leader support. The strategy applies to the years 2023-2027 and has been developed in collaboration between the public, non-profit and private sectors.
We want to hear about your idea.
