The East of England Development Agency (EEDA) have commissioned OCSI and economic development agency Roger Tym and Partners (RTP) to develop an evidence-based strategic regional framework for the Investing in Communities (IiC) programme. The framework will provide EEDA with a robust basis for future investment, identifying potential priorities and levels of need across the sub-regional economic partnerships. Additional analysis highlights the issues faced by deprived groups living in rural areas, as well as other vulnerable communities including Black and Minority Ethnic groups, older people, young adults and those suffering from work-limiting illness.
