Welcome to the Regional Intelligence Unit (RIU) extranet

Welcome to the Regional Intelligence Unit (RIU) Extranet, brought to you by the NWDA Research Team.

The RIU is one of 9 Regional Observatories which have been developed in the English regions to support regional policy making, through the provision of high quality information and analysis.

Our main functions are:-

• Providing analysis of data and research
• Produce briefings
• Helping to disseminate and widen access to intelligence
• Conducting research to fill data gaps
• Answering information and intelligence enquiries

Our current main delivery this year under these functions is the development of the evidence base for the new Regional Strategy, the first phase of this is now available. Click here to access the Draft Evidence Papers, which will contribute to an independent, consistent evidence base and begin to stimulate debate and strategy development for the future.
