Rural Delivery Plan: vision, strategic objectives and key performance indicators
Overview
Why are we writing a Rural Delivery Plan?
The Scottish Government is committed to publishing a plan setting out how all parts of the Scottish Government are delivering for Scotland’s rural communities, by the end of the current Parliament.
This is a key opportunity to take a fresh look at how we can work together to bring about change and address the issues that we face in rural Scotland.
The Rural Delivery Plan will act as a framework to consider the full breadth of policy delivery in the rural space; it is an opportunity to bring together often siloed areas of interest and consider what is happening holistically.
The Plan will cover a range of key areas, such as agriculture, marine, land reform, transport, housing, social justice, population, skills, digital connectivity, economic development, and health and social care.
The Rural Delivery Plan will focus specifically on how the Scottish Government is supporting communities in mainland rural Scotland. We recognise that our islands are also in rural Scotland. Our National Islands Plan covers how the Scottish Government will deliver for our island communities.
We plan to publish the Rural Delivery Plan during the lifetime of this Parliament.

Why your views matter
The Rural Delivery Plan will introduce, for the first time, a vision for rural Scotland, underpinned by a series of strategic objectives and key performance indicators which articulate where we want to get to, how we will plan to get there, and assess the impact of our ongoing efforts.
The Scottish Government wants to work together with rural communities, businesses and stakeholders. We want the vision, strategic objectives and indicators to be informed by the views of those living and working in rural Scotland, to the greatest extent possible.
We have listened to what our stakeholders have told us before. The draft vision and strategic objectives have been built from previous work, such as the National Council of Rural Advisors (NCRA) recommendations and the outcomes from the Scottish Rural and Islands Parliament in 2021 and 2023.
This survey gives everyone who has interest in rural Scotland a chance to share their views and to help shape the Rural Delivery Plan.
All questions are optional.
