The scheme is a partnership between the EU, the UK government, the Government of Ireland and the Northern Ireland Executive. The programme, which will be managed by the Special EU Programmes Body , includes a focus on peacebuilding activity and taking the opportunity to implement actions that will contribute positively to building the economy and increasing prosperity, as well as helping communities become more resilient and adjust to new challenges.
“Here in Northern Ireland, we have seen how peace, when it is not a given, becomes an overwhelming desire, a primary necessity. And how much we can achieve when we put our minds and hearts to it. With an overall contribution of 1.1 billion euro, we are – collectively – clearly demonstrating that we are putting our money where our mouth is.
“Twenty-five years after the signing of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland has so many stories to tell of how its communities have delivered on the Agreement’s promises around peace and reconciliation,” he said.
