The Provincial Council of Cáceres provides its services to promote employment and local development through the Autonomous Body for Local Development. It does so in a provincial context, addressing people and companies in concerted actions with the Cáceres municipalities and their Associations and with the Rural Development Groups.

The nature of its activity offers, on the one hand, elements of financial, technical and methodological support to local teams and, on the other, projects and direct actions in collaboration with associations and municipalities. This fulfills the role that provincial councils have in improving the effectiveness of local administration with instruments that city councils could not have available on their own.

Technically and methodologically, the ability to analyze the territory, catalog and enhance resources, obtain information for strategic planning and projection, innovation or training of people is supported. For this, the Autonomous Body for Local Development has a departmental structure that undertakes:

1. • Territorial analysis.

2. • Training for employment.

3. • Business promotion, innovation and technological development.

4. • Information and communication.

5. • Territorial cooperation.

6. • The sustainability of development and tourism.

7. • The administration of services and projects.

These departments also direct projects financed with their own resources or in collaboration with other administrations, especially with the Government of Extremadura. In this way, we participate in the regional Employment Plan programs, collaborating in the quality of their application in the territory. It intervenes in sectoral revitalization plans such as tourism or local services or enhances local action with resources for training or international cooperation.

The OADL conducts its actions from a gender perspective that guarantees equal opportunities between men and women. It also ensures that the initiatives proposed under its coverage respect the criteria of development sustainability.
