Regional governments
Communities and Local Government is responsible for regional policy across England. They aim to enhance economic growth in all regions of England and reduce the gap in economic growth between the most and least prosperous regions.
The East of England Regional Assembly (EERA) is independent of Government and represents the regional interests of people living and working in the East of England. It exists to promote the economic, social and environmental well-being of the region. EERA is responsible for scrutinising the work of the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) and also hosts the regional improvement and efficiency partnership (RIEP) "Improvement East" for local and fire authorities. EERA and its partners have developed a suite of regional strategies to help achieve the overarching goal of improving the quality of life in the East of England.
The East of England Regional Development Agency (EEDA) is responsible for developing and delivering, with regional partners, a Regional Economic Strategy which sets out the economic aspirations of the region and how they are going to achieve them.
The purpose of Improvement East is to coordinate, challenge, support and accelerate the drive for improvement and efficiency in localities to a higher level than would otherwise be possible.
The Government Office for the East of England (GO-East) brings together into a single operation the varied regional activities of a range of Government departments with the aim of making the region a better place to live and work in.
