Areas of Work
The work the NWDA does is led by the Regional Economic Strategy.
This Strategy was developed on the basis of Government policy and a
regional evidence base.
The Strategy is split into five main sections: Business, Skills
& Education, People & Jobs, Infrastructure and Quality of
Life. Sustainable Development, is a cross-cutting theme which is an
important element of all five sections of the Strategy.
The NWDA delivers the Strategy alongside a number of
partner organisations.
These partner organisations are responsible for delivering other
parts of the Strategy.
Our Corporate
Plan provides full details of how we have allocated
our budget to deliver the objectives set out in the Strategy. We
are funded through a Government Single Budget for Regional Development
Agencies.
In addition to Government funding, the NWDA manages the European
Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Rural Development
Programme for England (RDPE) in the Northwest.
