5    This table shows the RDA contribution to a national target on brownfield land remediation.  As set out in the Sustainable Communities Plan 2003, the Government will, through the RDAs and English Partnerships, remediate brownfield land at a rate of over 1,400 hectares per annum for economic, commercial, residential and leisure use.  The RDAs were expected to contribute at least 1,100 hectares per annum to this total (but marginally undershot this year), and English Partnerships at least 300 hectares per annum.  The figures include outputs relating to the National Coalfields Programme which are shared with English Partnerships.

7    With its partners on the RSP, AWM has agreed that the lead for Basic Skills and Level 2 will rest with the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) now organised regionally, Job Centre Plus, Sector Skills Council and the Voluntary and Community sector.  This has left AWM free to concentrate its funding contribution on other higher level skill areas, including   the development of Management and Leadership skills in the regions for which it has a supplementary output in its CP. (The target for this supplementary output for 2005/06 was 600, the reported achievement so far is 626.)  AWM’s Board agreed this approach in April 2005 and since then the Agency have carried out a review of all its skills projects, refocusing as appropriate.

8   One North East has had to record a zero return on its Level 2 skills output because the target was set against anticipated outputs via LSC projects.  Whilst the anticipated activity took place the funding from LSC was paid direct to the training provider, bypassing the Agency, who was project-managing delivery of the training.  As such the outputs achieved were not eligible for counting as direct National Tasking Framework outputs.  However, they were achieved as indirect outputs for the region as a consequence of the Agency's project management efforts (2,684 NVQ level 2s, 46 NVQ level 3s, 16 NVQ level 4s).
