Iceland 2020 – Integrated planning
19.1.2011
In order to implement the priorities and objectives of Iceland 2020, changes will have to be made to the structure of the public sector and the strategic tools that have been used over the past years will need to be reviewed.
Investment plan for the development of infrastructure, employment, human resources and the community
It is proposed that all of the state's more extensive programmes, which include policy goals, planning and funding priorities, should be simplified, consolidated and integrated. The objective is to eliminate the bottlenecks standing in the way of sound economic and social development, to prepare current and future generations for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, support sustainable development and job creation, and ensure a sensible prioritisation of funds and resources to enhance the quality of life of all citizens. An integrated sectoral plan provides for the funding of key investments needed to fulfil the vision of Iceland 2020 and to implement the action plan for the economy and the community. The plan also urges for the integration and simplification of public policy and plans in certain fields. Responsibility: Ministry of Finance
