Test your idea
Can your idea become a leader project? We'll help you figure out what opportunities exist. Feel free to check out our checklist too.
Innovative thinking
Should the project be used to create development in various ways – not to support existing activities?
Sustainability
Is there a plan for how the project will be implemented in a sustainable manner?
Equality
Are the project's working methods and distribution of tasks designed so that women and men have equal opportunities to influence the design of the project, participate in its implementation and benefit from the project's results?
Not regular business
Is the project delimited and separate from regular operations?
Locally rooted
Is the project idea locally rooted?
Long-term
Have you planned how the project will transition into long-term operations?
Useful for many
Will the project benefit and improve more than just those implementing the project?
Fits into our strategy
Does the idea fit into any of the strategy's focus areas? Focus areas: Innovative solutions, a sustainable business community, and housing and living.
Non-discrimination
Have you thought about openness and non-discrimination? It is an absolute requirement that no one is prevented from influencing the design of the project, participating in its implementation or benefiting from the project's results due to gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or age.
Bottom view
Did the idea arise from your local needs and desires?
Cooperation
Should the project be carried out in collaboration between at least two of the non-profit, private and public sectors?
Implementation capacity
Do you have an organized co-financing and plan for how the project could be implemented in practical terms?
Geographical area
Is the project being implemented within the Leader Södermanland geographical area? They are covered by the rural areas of Eskilstuna, Flen, Gnesta, Katrineholm, Nykvarn, Strängnäs and Vingåker.
Liquidity
Do you have liquidity of at least 30 percent of the project budget? Before you get money back from the Swedish Board of Agriculture, you need to have your own funds.
