Kildare 2012 - An Economic, Social and Cultural Strategy

Action Plan

How were the Actions Selected?

The actions included in this Action Plan have been selected by the eight Working Groups and the Kildare County Development Board, from over 350 possible actions suggested during consultation, as those most important to be carried out within the first three years. The remaining possible actions have been put on hold and will be looked at again at the first three-year review. The full list of possible actions is available from Kildare County Development Board.

KCDB agree that including an action for every Goal & Objective under the six Themes of the Strategy would resemble a wish list and would be unachievable within three years. Instead, a more realistic number of actions were selected. Therefore, you will notice that for every Theme, although each Goal has one or more actions listed, each Objective does not.

Limiting the number of actions included recognises that each member agency of KCDB has their own main services and programmes to implement alongside the actions they have signed-up to here. It also recognises that the actions in this document require co-operation, co-ordination and integration between a number of different organisations, which, by its nature, takes more time to complete.

KCDB believes that this approach, which recognises the opportunities and constraints on the agencies involved in the CDB process, is more likely to ensure success in achieving the goals of the Strategy.
