The Rural Development Plan (RDP) for Wales 2007-2013 is part of a joint Welsh Assembly Government and European Union (EU) strategy. It covers four areas namely: agriculture and forestry, environment and countryside, quality if life in rural areas and locally based approaches to rural development.

How we can help
These four areas known as axes will be delivered through a number of schemes. Further information on these can be found using the links on the left hand side of the screen. These include information on what is available, how to apply and contact information.
Putting ideas into practice
The selection of case studies on the right hand side of the screen demonstrates what the plan can offer in terms of support. By working together we hope to make Wales a better place to live and work in the future.
