Description of the second policy instrument selected for improvement - Regional Spatial & Economic Strategy (RSES)
The Southern Regional Assembly (SRA) is one of three Assemblies in the Republic of Ireland.
Since January 2015, the SRA, in addition to its longstanding role as MA for the S&E ROP, now has a responsibility for regional spatial and economic planning which includes oversight of local authority performance and Local Economic and Community Plans, and implementation of national policy. As part of these enhanced responsibilities, SRA have prepared and written the first Regional Spatial & Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Southern Region of Ireland. The RSES sets out a 12-year strategic framework for the development of the region embracing all aspects of life including economic, environmental, connectivity, quality of life, etc, and identifies key priorities for investment to support delivery of this ambition. This involves working closely with partners in the region in developing regional innovation and smart specialisation objectives. The principal purpose of the RSES is to support the implementation of the National Planning Framework and the economic policies & objectives of the Government. Ultimately, it strives to deliver decisive leadership for the region through the definition of Regional Policy Objectives aimed, inter alia, at Jobs and Growth by identifying regional strengths and opportunities essential to enhancing regional economic performance.
