The Wales Rural Network is sharing initiatives by local agencies in Wales (UK) to face the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in rural areas.
Local enterprise agencies are at the forefront of supporting local businesses and communities during the Covid-19 pandemic. By mobilising local networks and building on strong relationships across private, public and voluntary sectors, these agencies have reacted quickly to put in place flexible, innovative responses. Many of the local agencies are funded by LEADER, a EU programme which enables Local Action Groups to respond speedily to local issues and opportunities.
