Policy Manifesto 2011
NICVA, the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action, is the umbrella body and development agency for the 4,500 strong voluntary and community sector in Northern Ireland.
Our mission is to represent and promote the voluntary and community sector in Northern Ireland and to provide support and leadership to it.
NICVA’s policy priorities for the 2011 elections set out our vision for the kind of Northern Ireland we would like to see. Our vision is a positive one. It is of a place at peace with itself and of a government ready and willing to work with others to tackle the key issues that threaten our stability and prosperity.
This document covers some of the most pressing social, economic and environmental issues that we, as a society, will face over the next four years. It offers positive ways in which politicians and political parties can tackle them.
We would like to thank the many voluntary and community organisations that helped inform and shape the content of this document. Our members across the voluntary and community sector have offered a challenging but achievable vision for a positive, inclusive and stable Northern Ireland and we look forward to working with government to realise this vision.
