The Network of Empowering Authorities (NEA)
The Network of Empowering Authorities (NEA) is a group of 18 councils chosen by the government to help champion community empowerment across the local government sector.
The NEA aims to:
- develop sector-wide capacity to deliver community empowerment
- push the boundaries of existing practice
- drive up standards in member councils
- share experience and good practice with other local authorities
The Department of Communities and Local Government is funding the NEA for 2 years and the Improvement and Development Agency, working with CDF, is supporting the network to deliver its aims.
The NEA is undertaking a programme of research and action learning in the five implementation themes identified in the Framework for an Ideal Empowering Authority as ‘pillars’ that are key to delivering community empowerment.
The NEA authorities have come together to form working hubs that aim to identify challenges and possible solutions in each of the five areas. For further information, visit the IDeA website.
