Our new National Performance Framework, launched in June, sets out a clear purpose for Scotland – to focus on creating a more successful country with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish through increased wellbeing, and sustainable and inclusive economic growth.

We have, for more than 10 years, been resolute in our focus on improving lives through common goals across the public sector and beyond. The new framework – its purpose, values of kindness, dignity and compassion and the kind of Scotland we want to see – builds on this and is about more than the work of government. It has been shaped by more than 200 organisations and endorsed by all parties in the Scottish Parliament. It presents a vision for national wellbeing across a range of economic, social and environmental factors. Importantly, our National Performance Framework embeds the UN Sustainable Development Goals, reinforcing our commitment to tackling the most challenging issues facing our planet. In striving to achieve our National Outcomes, we are simultaneously striving to achieve the UN Goals. We are a country committed to protecting human rights, and we will remain steadfast to this on the brink of Brexit and worrying approaches to civil liberties elsewhere in the world.

While we, working together with local government, will take the actions needed to make Scotland fairer, wealthier and happier the real power is beyond government. It is often the decisions we take as individuals, families, businesses and communities that have the most impact on our success as a country. We will work with people across Scotland and use the framework to check our progress – learn from what is working and what needs a different approach.
