About the Wales Rural Network

The aims of the Wales Rural Network are to share good practice and promote co-operation between schemes and programmes operating under the Rural Development Plan (RDP).

Key areas of work planned over the course of the RDP period include:-

• Establishment and support for thematic groups on key topics within the RDP, incorporating cross-axis working where appropriate
• Set up of a website, database and partner search tool to support communications and co-operation within the rural network
• Provision of training, mentoring, support and information for Local Action Groups
• Support for inter-territorial and trans-national working.

The Wales Rural Network plans to build on previous successes both in networking and in project and programme implementation and to use existing structures as much as possible to further promote co-operation.
