Set strategies and actions

Like the objectives, the strategies you set should always be informed by your AEDI results, along with additional information gathered earlier in the planning phase (data, community consultation information and evidence).

Each strategy will require one or more specific actions. These actions will be your 'to do' list of specific activities that have arisen from your original objectives. Your actions can be agreed once your Action Plan's outcomes, objectives and strategies are finalised with your Working Group.
