Abstract
Sub-national social reporting is presented as playing an active but supporting role in a built in social policy and social planning decision making framework. The relationship of such a framework to the political process and its interaction with the national level is noted. The effective use of a social reporting network on the sub-national level implies that the outputs of such a network is continuous, and is available at decision points of the social planning and social policy process. The relationship between various data sources and the policy, planning and programming processes is illustrated.
