The RDA Act
Advantage West Midlands was established by the UK Government (Labour administration: 1997 - 2010) under the Regional Development Agencies Act 1998. The Act set out the five statutory purposes for England’s RDAs:
- to further economic development and regeneration;
- to promote business efficiency, investment and competitiveness; "
- to promote employment;
- to enhance the development and application of skill relevant to employment; and
- to contribute to sustainable development.
In order to fulfil these goals, RDAs used economic data and analysis to develop Regional Economic Strategies, invested their resources to deliver their share of the strategy and influenced partner organisations to do likewise.
