The Associació Leader de Ponent is a non-profit organization, set up as a Local Action Group (GAL), whose purpose is the creation of economic activity and the dynamization of rural areas, specifically of the regions of Les Garrigues, Pla d’Urgell, Urgell and the southern Segrià, as well as the fight against the depopulation and sensitivity of the population to visualize rural areas as an opportunity for life and business.

The main objective of the Local Development Strategy of the Association is the creation of economic activity in the territory from the promotion and commercialization of the local agrifood product and synergy with other sectors of the territory such as tourism, gastronomy and small commerce. It will also focus on promoting entrepreneurship among young people, supporting the development of sectoral and intersectoral collective projects and, in a transversal priority, support for the most depressed rural areas with a high population regression.
