EU funding to strengthen economic and social cohesion in the community by promoting cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation.
The primary objective of the 2000 - 2006 phase of INTERREG is to strengthen economic and social cohesion in the community by promoting cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation and balanced development of the community territory.
Within this context the overall aim of the NI/Ireland INTERREG IIIA programme is to promote sustainable integrated regional development across the eligible region by building on the progress made under previous INTERREG programmes and by concentrating on the strategic dimension of cross-border development which involves and benefits local communities.
DSD has responsibility for delivery in NI of INTERREG IIIA Community Initiative Programme - a joint programme with the border regions of Ireland.

- integrated local development strategies
