16 Regional Strategic Outcomes (RSOs) are aligned to
16 Regional Strategic Outcomes (RSOs) are aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the EU thematic objectives and national policy including the NPF’s National Strategic Outcomes (NSOs) to embed a coherent policy hierarchy and to ensure that future investment is targeted towards identified policy recommendations and goals.
The shared vision and set of outcomes for the RSES have been informed by an extensive public consultation and developed in collaboration with our elected members and key stakeholders, reflecting the Assembly’s co-production approach to regional policy formulation. Using a regional collaboration approach the RSES has developed a shared vision, on behalf of our citizens, that sets the strategic direction for where we want our Region to be by 2031 and beyond.
There is significant policy alignment between the UN SDGs and the National Planning Framework’s National Strategic Outcomes (NSOs). The development of Regional Strategic Outcomes in the RSES is also closely aligned and supportive of the NSOs.
