Wales Rural Network

The Wales Rural Network is responsible for promoting the exchange of expertise between everyone involved in the Rural Development Plan for Wales 2007-2013.

The Network makes a real contribution to the RDP by helping to add value to the funding available.

Some areas of work planned over the course of the Rural Development Plan (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
• Helping with the establishment of the UK Rural Network

Along with hosting events, conferences and visits, the Network also shares information between partners through this web-site and by producing bulletins and publications.

The Network is one of four regional rural networks established in the UK. It is designed to help and support the implementation and delivery of the RDP across all four Axes.
