Mission
Under the Regional Development Agencies Act 1998, each Agency has five statutory purposes, which are:
- To further economic development and regeneration
- To promote business efficiency, investment and competitiveness
- To promote employment
- To enhance development and application of skills relevant to employment
- To contribute to sustainable development
Following a Sub-National Review of Economic Development in July 2007 the Government has proposed that RDAs will, in the future, have responsibility for integrating regional economic development alongside planning, transport and housing into a single strategy.
