The European Union’s LEADER Programme is held to be one of the most successful community initiatives, it integrates agriculture and rural development. In the program period 2004 – 2006 in Hungary, LEADER was a measure of the National Development Plan’s Operative Program for Agriculture and Rural Development. The selected 70 LAGs could claim for EUR 340.000 or 377.000 subsidy. The Göcsej area’s LAG is exceptionally important for its development program called ’Heritage as a resource for the welfare of Göcsej-Middle-Zala’. In this paper we are researching the implementation of the program in the Göcsej area, focusing on the involvement of the sectors and results of the supported measures. According to amount of support the program achieved its main objective, the preservation of the area’s heritage proved to be an emphatic measure. The different results of the sectors and the lack of real local product development highlights the pilot- character of the program. The extension of the trade-mark system to local products is the future challenge of the next program-period.
