The Scottish Government, local authorities, all other public bodies, including enterprise agencies and health authorities should be covered by the proposals.
Statutory duties, specific outcomes, measurement and reporting will ensure accountability for implementation to the Scottish Parliament.
Local communities, business and the third sector should be involved in the implementation of the duty.
Thre would need to be adequate funding for the implementation of CWB initiatives by third sector organisations.

Statutory guidance for public sector bodies and key organisations would be important, to ensure accountability and the implementation of Community Wealth Building principles.
CWB will need co-production and partnership between local authorities and other public sector organisations, social enterprises, third sector and business and community groups.

The spending pillar of CWB can use the spending power of anchor organisations to better support local and regional economies including by growing local spend with SMEs, the third sector and supported businesses.
A narrow focus on the control of public spending in localities hides the true value of investments. We should prioritise the true economic/social/environmental impact of spending and not just look at it in financial terms.

We welcome the renewed focus on land reform.

Please provide a reason for your answer.
Investment into social enterprises, charities, community groups, is an essential element, in order to build community wealth.
Investment can pay multiple dividends in terms of positive economic, environmental and social impact in the local community, supporting jobs, interventions for excluded people and regeneration and can relieve pressure on public services.
