Our Themes and Workplan

The Partnership will develop a clear strategic vision, take forward a range of activities that drive forward the economy, sustain and grow communities and capitalise on people and resources.

The Partnership will promote fair work and inclusive growth with a clear focus on the South of Scotland and prepare the way for the new South of Scotland Enterprise Agency.


The Partnership will develop and deliver a clear and prioritised work programme, aligning existing activity, driving progress and piloting new approaches to benefit the South. The seven themes in the work plan are:

  1. Overarching

  3. Farming, Forestry, Fisheries and Land Management
  4. Education and Skills
  5. Key Sectors
