The basis of this work was the analysis of 11 major policies and plans with the aim of developing concrete recommendations on how policy and planning needs to change within the Icelandic Public Administration. The results of the analysis was that 198 criteria’s were analysed, 18 criteria’s for each of the 11 policies. 108 fulfilled the criteria (55%), 52 partially fulfilled it (26%) and 38 were not present (19%).
