Scotland’s National Performance Framework is being redesigned. We have a chance to influence what comes next – and make sure the Sustainable Development Goals are at the heart of how Scotland measures success.

The Deputy First Minister has set out proposals for six high-level National Outcomes, cross-cutting perspectives (or “lenses”), and a stronger focus on “ways of working” and implementation.

If you’d like to engage with the proposals and shape constructive responses, SIDA is working with the University of Strathclyde, the SDG Network Scotland and other partners, to hold a fully hybrid discussion on Monday 30 March, 09:30–12:30. You can join in person at Strathclyde University or online.

The NPF could be a vital tool for policy coherence, helping Scotland deliver on the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals and align public and private action to reduce poverty and improve wellbeing. Does the current proposal get us there? What is missing, and what would make implementation real rather than rhetorical?

We will use The Scottish Government‘s own prompts as a starting point, including how your work connects to the proposed outcomes, how cross-cutting perspectives should be reflected, and what stronger accountability, transparency and culture change could look like in practice.

If you care about how Scotland sets direction, measures what matters, and makes long-term decisions, please come along and add your voice.
