abstract = {Civil society plays an essential role in the development of our rural areas. In spite of this,
little research has been conducted on the role of non-profit organizations, often referred to in general
terms as the third sector, within the framework of the LEADER program for rural development,
especially in such a large geographical area as Andalusia, the study area of this research. The diversity
of the groups that make up the “Others” group of rural development stakeholders is one of its most
important characteristics. Over the course of the study period (2000–2015), these organizations have
played a very significant role in Andalusia in both quantitative and qualitative terms. In order to
find out more about the diversity of third sector organizations and to quantify and evaluate their
importance, we carried out a detailed analysis of all the LEADER projects commenced in Andalusia
between 2000 and 2015. The quantitative and quantitative results obtained highlight the diversity
of these projects and how widely their presence varied from one type of rural area to the next. Our
research reopens the debate about the growing role played by non-profit organizations in developed
societies at a global level and within LEADER in particular.},
