Key CAP contact(s) :
Support for Smart Villages under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
The Ministry of Agriculture initiated a series of meetings with relevant stakeholders for the preparation of the CAP Strategic Plan; the first one on 25 February 2020 with the 17 Regional Governments. The CAP SP is developed through participatory and multilevel approaches, involving all the Regional Governments, agricultural and environmental organisations, Ministry of Ecological Transition, the European Commission, and other interested organisations and citizens.
The Ministry has set up a high-level working group, which coordinates the work of various groups specialising in each of the nine specific objectives and the cross-cutting objective set out in the draft EU regulation.
The programming process of the CAP SP is divided into two main phases:
- Phase I -Establishing the specific objectives: The groups specialised in each objective prepared the initial documents, as well as the SWOT and the needs analysis.
- Phase II -Defining the CAP SP’s Intervention Strategy: Prioritisation of needs of the CAP SP and selection and design of interventions that will respond to priority needs.

The National Strategy for Ultrafast Network aims, among others, at establishing broadband connection of a speed of at least 30Mbps in Spanish municipalities with a population of maximum 5,000 inhabitants, with no access to fixed broadband. The programme is managed by the Red.es which is a public entity supervised by the Ministry of Economy and Digital Transformation through the Secretary of State for Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence.
The National Strategy on the Demographic Challenge seeks to address the territorial imbalance between urban and rural areas, combat the depopulation of villages and provide responses to the country’s demographic challenge. This strategy establishes 7 cross-cutting objectives, based on three principles: coordination and cooperation of all public administrations, sustainable use of endogenous resources and close public-private partnership.
The Royal Decree Act 1234/2018 establishes subsidies to local entities for the financing of employment, self-employment and collective entrepreneurship projects, aimed at meeting the demographic challenge in the municipalities with the smallest populations.
