“Learn
together to
do together”
“I believe that all projects must
have a transnational dimension
to see what is happening on this
issue in other countries. For each
project, good practices from
other countries must be found
before the local project starts.”
“With long term
and survival”
“It’s costly, previously it’s
necessary to have a clear
expectative of added value
to justify all the additional
effort. The management is
complex”.
“The success of
LEADER was due to
their LAG autonomy
in cooperation issue”
“Now the cooperation is
bureaucratized, they
want to normalize it and
control everything. Do
not count the content of
the projects only count
the barriers that the
administration puts”
Situation and main complications that Spain is facing in

The problems of the rural areas, are similar throughout
the world, independently local conditions, which
always exist.
Learn more than teach, you receive more than you give.
The importance of defining the rural territory where intervention will take place.
Be flexible at the time of implementing LEADER in others territories. Stablishing clear dialogue with useful answer is important
to attract interest.
Political situation must be favourable. Stablish a connection with government bodies and invite them to take part of the
process. That’s why it’s necessary to strengthen rural institution and social management of the territories.
Confirmation, that local elections interfere with rural development processes that are based on the territory.
Importance of the strategic plan for Rural Development conceived as a process and not as a mere consultancy exercise.
To accompany the process with financial resources to implement micro-projects.
