IDeA Priorities 2004 - 2006

The IDeA priorities over the next three years reflect those of local government, and the Agency will concentrate on these five key, and closely linked, areas of improvement and development:

e- government
The IDeA will help local authorities transform the ways in which they lead their communities and deliver services through the opportunities offered by e- government.

leadership
The IDeA will help authorities to review their forms of political and officer leadership and enable them to continually improve the ways in which they serve their communities.

capacity building
The IDeA will help local authorities to review their performance and put in place the capacity to deliver change to meet the identified needs of their communities.

improving council services
The IDeA will work actively with local authorities to drive continuous improvement of services and to challenge poor performance.

community well- being
The IDeA will help local authorities engage effectively with their communities, including building local partnerships and integrating sustainable development within their decision-making processes and delivery of services.
