The Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action has annouced a series of consultations
on the new Peace lll programme. An EU budget of ‚€200 million has been committed
for 2007-2013, with British and Irish government contributions adding another ‚€
70 million.

It is likely that the detail of a finalised Peace III programme will still have
to be worked out and submitted to the European Commission in Brussels by the end
of the summer 2006. The British and Irish government also have decisions to make
before this can happen, so consultation will be taking place in the coming months
on what the programme should look like.

 

 

The north/south split has not yet been worked out, but the amount of money coming
to Northern Ireland is likely to be less than the amount of the current Peace II
extension.

 

 

NICVA is organising four seminars in conjunction with North West Community Network,
Lisburn Community Network and Sperrin Lakelands Victims Programme to find out what
it is the voluntary and community sector wants and expects from Peace III.

 

 

The venues and dates are:

 

Tuesday 7 March 2006 – Beechlawn Hotel, Dunmurry. 7.00pm to 9.00pm

 

Wednesday 8 March 2006 – NICVA, Belfast. 10.00am to 12.30pm

 

Tuesday 14 March 2006 – The Junction, Derry. 10.00am to 12.30pm

 

Monday 3 April 2006 – The Mellon Country Inn, Omagh. 10.00am to 12.30pm

 

 

Under the new Peace programme, not every project will have to be cross border but
it is likely that every project will have to contribute to measure level objectives
which are cross border. This probably means there will be no single cross border
measure as with the last programme and may have implications for the funding bodies
which distribute the money as they may not be able to distribute funds which impact
on just one locality.
