The Single Outcome Agreement 2009-10 lays down a series of local priorities for action in the context of the Scottish Government's national aspirations – and spells out how the city council and its community planning partners will work together to meet agreed targets.
The commitments made in the SOA represent a shared direction for all the partner organisations, based on the Concordat between the Scottish Government and community planning partners. The document aims to stimulate even closer co-operation to make services more effective and deliver ever-improving results for the citizens of Aberdeen.
Targets and timescales are laid down under a range of themes, including the economy, education, health, housing, children and young people at risk, crime and disorder, sustainability, the environment, sport and culture, and public services.
