What makes a good application?

All projects must have a cross-community and cross-border collaboration element, and they must be able to demonstrate peace impacts. This is key to the PEACEPLUS Programme.

Purpose of your project

The PEACEPLUS Programme will address needs arising from the peace process and take opportunities to: 

  • Boost economic growth
  • Stimulate social cohesion
  • Support economic regeneration
  • Promote social inclusion, particularly for those at the margins of economic and social life

The value of the programme, over seven years, is €1.1 billon.

Level of funding available

Applicants for PEACEPLUS funding can apply for up to 100% of their project value. 

Themes and Investment Areas

PEACEPLUS is a wide-ranging Programme with six themes and 22 investment areas. All investment areas have a sharp focus on the peace impacts and legacy they will leave.

A project must choose a theme and investment area in which to deliver. The project must clearly outline how it fits the specific criteria for their chosen theme. 

  • All projects must have a cross-community and cross-border collaboration element, and they must be able to demonstrate peace impacts. Collaboration is a key requirement for PEACEPLUS funding.

Partners outside the region

Partners from outside Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland are acceptable provided there is no viable alternative partner in the region, and the benefits obtained from the project remain within the region.
