Our core documents

During 2006-08, the EEDA has been leading the development of the new, regional economic strategy (RES) for the East of England 2008-2031. The strategy sets out a vision with bold targets and priorities so that we can drive forward as a globally-competitive region. The RES shows where we want to go and how we will get there. It is owned by the region and will be delivered through the collective work of political, business and community leaders and institutions. Read more background to the RES.

EEDA fully intends to adopt the social model of disability, focussing on the barriers which prevent disabled people from having the same opportunities as non-disabled people, and helping to address these wherever we can. This report shows how we plan to do it.

2007/08 mid-year report: In April-September 2007, the East of England Development Agency made good progress on many projects and is making a positive difference for businesses and communities in the region. More details can be found in EEDA's 2007/08 mid-year report.

Our annual report and accounts assess our progress against our business plan and corporate plan, and celebrate our achievements. It also gives details of areas for improvement and what we've spent over the past financial year.

It is the policy of the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) to provide its services in such a manner as to safeguard the public and employees both in the present day and for the future against the affects of inappropriate environmental management resulting from EEDA's activities and influence.

A large part of EEDA's role is working with other regional bodies to make sure work in the region is co-ordinated and all has the same aim.

To do this, EEDA worked with a range of partners and stakeholders to produce a regional economic strategy, outlining eight key goals.

The regional economic strategy isn't just a document for EEDA; it's a framework for organisations within the region to work within for common aims.
