Rethinking Scotland's National Outcomes Framework

(Hybrid event – online or in-person at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow)

Join Scotland’s International Development Alliance, the University of Strathclyde, the SDG Network Scotland and other partners including Learning for Sustainability Scotland, at a hybrid discussion on Monday 30 March, 09:30–12:30 to share your views on reforming and renewing Scotland’s National Performance Framework.

What is this event about?

Scotland’s National Performance Framework is being redesigned. We have a chance to influence what comes next – and make sure the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the heart of how Scotland measures success.

The Deputy First Minister has set out proposals for six high-level National Outcomes, cross-cutting perspectives (or “lenses”), and a stronger focus on “ways of working” and implementation.

The NPF could be a vital tool for policy coherence, helping Scotland deliver on the SDGs and align public and private action. Does the current proposal get us there? What is missing, and what would make implementation real rather than rhetorical?

We will use the Government’s own prompts as a starting point, including how your work connects to the proposed outcomes, how cross-cutting perspectives should be reflected, and what stronger accountability, transparency and culture change could look like in practice.

If you care about how Scotland sets direction, measures what matters, and makes long-term decisions, please come along – either in-person or online – and add your voice.
