Peace III takes shape
The Special EU programmes body has produced a paper outlining delivery structures for the new Peace Programme. The paper sets out that existing Local Strategy Partnerships (LSPs) and Intermediary Funding Bodies (IFBs) cannot be involved in the same way in delivering the new programme as it will be smaller and more strategic. Instead, the delivery of the Programme will be slimmed down and it is likely that a single IFB, probably the Community Relations Council, will be involved in Northern Ireland. SEUPB itself will also handle some applications. Councils, in readiness for the Review of Public Administration changes, will be encouraged to group together to submit strategic bids for their areas.
In keeping wth the recommendation made by NICVA in its 2004 report 'Designing Peace III' a group has been established to contribute to the design of the new Programme which includes NICVA, the Rural Community Network, trade unions, equality bodies, environmental interests, employers and government departments of finance, in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. This group has met once and will continue to meet during the consultation period on the new Peace III Operational programme which should take place during October and November.
