Single Outcome Agreement

The agreement between the Highland Community Planning Partners and the Scottish Government

The purpose of the Single Outcome Agreement (referred to as the SOA or Agreement) is to identify areas for improvement and to deliver better outcomes for the people of the Highlands and Scotland, through specific commitments made by the Council, its community planning partners and the Scottish Government.

The document sets out the joint commitments made by the Highland Community Planning Partnership and the Scottish Government to an agreed set of outcomes. 15 local outcomes have been agreed by the Community Planning Partnership based on the needs and issues identified in the Area profile. These are cast against the 15 national outcomes.

A new SOA is currently under development, due for completion Summer 2013
