Essex's Local Area Agreement (LAA) is a joint project between the county's thirteen Local Strategic Partnerships. It represents a real agreement between partners and is 
designed to bring a step-change in the collective effectiveness of the whole public sector in Essex. The LAA focuses the activities of the local public sector and the community and voluntary sector on the needs of identified groups of service users and residents.
It brings better value for money by channelling funds from different public organisations towards shared priorities and targets.
