The '''community-led local development''' ('''CLLD''') funding approach, initially limited to the rural areas under the name '''LEADER''' (the acronym standing for {{lang-fr|Liaison entre actions de développement de l'économie rurale}}, {{lang-en|Links between actions for the development of the [[rural economics|rural economy]]}}), is a [[European Union]] initiative to support development projects in rural, coastal and urban areas of EU member countries at the local scale by involving relevant local actors, including local organizations and associations, as well as individual citizens. The approach is regularly evaluated, and also discussed widely in academic literature on local economic and social development.<ref name="Zavratnik2018">{{cite journal |last1=Zavratnik |first1=Veronika |last2=Kos |first2=Andrej |last3=Stojmenova Duh |first3=Emilija |title="Smart villages: Comprehensive review of initiatives and practices." |journal=Sustainability |date=2018 |volume=10.7 |url=https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/10/7/2559 |access-date=29 November 2022}}</ref>
