In light of the findings of the State of the Region reports that inequalities still remain in the region, the Regional & Communities Policy Board agreed to commission a report to:

• Examine the key causes of inequalities in the region;
• Identify good practice solutions from across the region;
• Determine what can be learned from good practice; and
• Identify what leadership the Assembly should give in addressing inequalities in the region.

This project focused on sub-regional and regional strategies and the range of programmes and community initiatives that are currently being delivered.

The Final Report 'Inequalities in the East Midlands' (790KB PDF) is available here.
