Really good to see explicit theory of change and political economy stressed by Neil and Liz to lay out an approach that can both be validated and evaluated. That's important in securing buy-in to justify scaling up by ScotGov and others.
We are building on our existing Deal but refreshed by listening to what our communities really want. It is a journey and 10 years is too long - we are ambitious and think we can start to see real tangible differences in the short term. .... We have to do this ....our communities need it more than ever before.
Agree that a mix of bottom up/local approaches and top down/national policy needed. My perception is that there’s a big push on the bottom-up policies, but there needs to be significant changes in top down policy to go along with this.
