Abstract

The Local Action Groups in Extremadura (Spain) show marked contrasts in their size, population size, density, number of municipalities and territorial characterization. The objective of this paper is to assess the degree of adequacy achieved in the implementation of rural development policies and, therefore, to consider the relevance or not of making territorial adjustments in all or some of the groups. The applied methodology has consisted in a study of the situation of the twenty-four Local Action Groups according to the results of the Operational Program 2007-2013. Subsequently, the technique of multifactorial analysis has been applied,
which has allowed the interpretation of this complex reality and make various proposals for territorial adjustment that would significantly improve the levels of efficiency and efficiency in the management and application of community funds managed by the Groups of Local Action.
