The East Kent Local Strategic Partnership (EKLSP) covers the geographical area of Canterbury, Dover, Shepway and Thanet within the County of Kent.

The EKLSP brings together the public authorities, businesses and voluntary and community sectors in a voluntary partnership that ensures that each stakeholder takes a personal responsibility for driving forward the agenda for a prosperous and caring community.

The primary aim of EKLSP is to work together to improve the quality of life for those living and working in East Kent.
