LDA Investment Strategy Consultation

The consultation period on the LDA Investment Strategy has now closed.

The London Development Agency (LDA), like other Regional Development Agency's and in-line with Government requirement, produces a corporate plan every year.

 We are seeking to replace our Corporate Plan with the LDA Investment Strategy.

This will outline our goals from April 2008 to March 2012. It marks a change in our approach and takes us towards a more strategic, evidence-based planning process.

The content of the plans are very much evidence and intelligence driven with a focus on ensuring that we best allocated our funds to the areas of great impact and outcomes.

Therefore the content of the strategy will set out:

• how the LDA works, the allocation of our resources
• what's needed and what works in our priority areas of delivery
• what others are doing and how we can leverage those relationships for maximum impact

The main objectives of the LDA Investment Strategy are around the delivery of:

• objectives in accordance to the Mayoral objectives and priorities
• outcomes and outputs set by the Mayor and agreed with Central government.

Responses to the consultation

We have received a good number of responses and our team is currently reviewing the points raised and will take them into account when amending the draft for publication.

We will provide a detailed response to all consultees once the redraft is complete at the end of March 2008.
