Welcome to the Gozo Action Group

Leader in Gozo

The Gozo Action Group Foundation (GAGF) is a foundation composed of a group of local councils and private entities operating within the Island of Gozo in Malta. The Foundation is responsible to implement the LEADER Programme under the Rural Development Programme for Malta (2014-2020) within its territory, amongst others.  The Foundation’s overarching objective is to develop the rural localities in its territory so as to improve the quality of life and make this territory more economically prosperous.

The foundation is made up of the 14 Gozitan Local Councils that are represented on the Decision Committee by three mayors, the general business sector represented by the Gozo Business Chamber, the Gozo Tourism Association, the Maltese Islands Agri Federation (MIAF) and the Gozo NGO Association.

The GAGF, with the same partners, has been operating successfully since 2008. The Previous programming period was the first experience of the Foundation in the implementation of the LEADER programme. The GAGF successfully set up a fully functioning office and has gained experience in the evaluation of projects, communication of the LEADER initiative to the region as well as promoting LEADER.
