1.         Details of the Latest Call

It is unlikely that there will be any further calls for applications under this theme of the PEACE III Programme.

The theme of Building Positive Relations is concerned with challenging attitudes to racism and sectarianism and in supporting conflict resolution and mediation.  This theme aims to support the implementation of strategic models of collaboration between the public, private and community sectors that focus on reconciliation, cultural diversity and equality.  It further aims to establish meaningful cross-community and cross-border initiatives that will improve trust and tolerance.

 

2.         Programme Objective

In keeping with the overall aim of the PEACE III Programme, applications must clearly demonstrate how the proposed operation will reinforce progress towards a peaceful and stable society and promote reconciliation. Proposals must focus on areas and groups that have been affected by the conflict.  (Further details of the target groups and areas are described in sections 4.38 and 4.39 of the PEACE III Operational Programme 

 

3.         Priority and Theme Objectives

REGIONAL PROJECTS

The element of this theme that is open is for regional projects.  Applications are sought which will promote activities on a regional level and / or cross-border basis where some dimensions of building positive relationships may be best addressed.  This could include, for example, actions to ensure the active involvement of women, youth or other identified groups in strategic actions that contribute to Programme objectives. 

Proposals must be strategic in focus and implemented on a regional basis across the whole eligible region of Northern Ireland and Border Counties of Ireland.  Proposals should focus on areas and groups that have been affected by the conflict.

The Peace III Programme is 100% funded, however SEUPB would encourage projects that are capable of providing an element of public expenditure towards match funding.
