<p>Our Levelling Up White Paper sets 12 national missions to level up the whole of
the country including across all four home nations. We are taking action to ensure
the benefits are felt in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, including putting local
voices at the heart of decision making through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, launching
an Innovation Accelerator in Glasgow City Region, and establishing a UK National Academy
to provide a first-class education to every child in the UK. Ministers in this department
are working closely with parliamentarians and other leaders from all parts of the
UK. We are also investing £1.49 billion in City and Growth Deals in every part of
Scotland, £791 million across Wales, and £617 million for deals covering the whole
of Northern Ireland, helping to create jobs and boost local economies right across
the UK.</p><p>The Levelling Up Fund will bring further meaningful investment to every
part of the UK. Round 1 of the Levelling Up Fund saw over £341 million awarded to
29 successful projects in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Results for round
2 of the Fund, which will provide even more vital investment, will be announced by
the end of the year.</p>
