The Provincial Council of Teruel has granted 161,000 euros to the seven Local Action Groups that manage the LEADER 2026 rural development strategy in the province, at a rate of 23,000 euros per entity.

A 161,000 euro call already registered in the BDNS

The decree fulfills the call for the “Rural Development Program: Support for the Local Action Groups managing the LEADER 2026 local development strategy,” approved by Presidency Decree 2026-2332, dated June 18, 2026, and registered in the National Grants Database (BDNS) under number 913981. Its summary was published in the BOPTE no. 117, dated June 23, 2026, and the maximum planned allocation was already 161,000.00 euros.

The regulatory framework is completed by the General Grants Ordinance of the Provincial Council of Teruel, approved by the Plenary on March 27, 2024, and published in the BOPTE no. 102, dated May 29, 2024, and the Strategic Grants Plan 2024-2027, approved by the Plenary on January 31, 2024, and published in the BOP no. 25, dated February 5, which already included this program.

The resolution will be notified to the interested parties and communicated to the General Comptroller and the managing Service, in addition to being submitted to the National Grants Database.

The resolution is signed by the president, Joaquín Pascual Juste Sanz, in Teruel on September 25, 2026.

Impact on the Teruel rural environment

These 161,000 euros are the allocation with which the seven local action groups will finance their structure and the execution of their development strategies in 2026, such that the resolution unlocks the financing of projects throughout the rural environment of the province. The distribution is linear—23,000 euros per group—meaning that no region falls below the others in this line of support for LEADER management.
