Shaping Stirling

A determination to make life better for local people is at the heart of the plans that set out our goals for the future and how we will work to achieve them.

Single Outcome Agreement

In 2008 each local authority developed a Single Outcome Agreement that sets out agreed outcomes for the local area and how these contribute to national objectives set by the Scottish Government. The Stirling Community Planning Partnership was extensively involved in the development of the local Single Outcome Agreement for 2008/09, including the setting of appropriate outcome targets.

From 2009/10 Single Outcome Agreements are agreements between Community Planning Partnerships and the Scottish Government. The Single Outcome Agreement for 2008/09 was used as the basis for development of the revised Agreement for the Stirling area, with 2008/09 considered as Year 1 of the 3-year Agreement.
