Regional Economic Strategy Delivery Plan
Regional Economic Strategy Delivery Plan
To ensure that we can reach our vision for the South of Scotland, and meet the aims of the strategy, we have developed a series of tangible actions that will help us to make the South greener, fairer, and flourishing.

The Delivery Plan looks three years ahead and aims to be flexible to adapt to changes and new demands.  It was agreed by the Regional Economic Partnership in November 2021 and was subsequently agreed by Dumfries & Galloway Council, Scottish Borders Council and South of Scotland Enterprise. Our actions are grouped into the six key themes identified in the Regional Economic Strategy, while cross-cutting actions have also been identified that will support our key themes simultaneously.
