Iceland has set 65 priority targets that are implemented through targets set for various policy areas in the government’s five-year fiscal strategy and various other government policies and programmes. To improve efficiency and oversight in policy formulation and planning, it was decided to set priority targets. It is, however, important to note that the priority targets do not exclude work on implementing other targets.

Leading Ministry and respective unit

The Prime Minister’s Office is responsible for national implementation and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs is responsible for the international representation of Iceland.
