PEACE IV

The €270m PEACE IV Programme is a unique initiative of the European Union which has been designed to support peace and reconciliation.

PEACE

The PEACE Programme was initially created in 1995 as a direct result of the EU’s desire to make a positive response to the paramilitary ceasefires of 1994. 

Whilst significant progress has been made since then, there remains a need to improve cross-community relations and where possible further integrate divided communities. 

The new programming period for 2014-2020 provides opportunity for continued EU assistance to help address the peace and reconciliation needs of the region.
