Prior to the funding call to the new PEACEPLUS Programme opening, the SEUPB held a pre-application support workshop under Theme 2 Delivering Socio-Economic Regeneration and Transformation . This workshop provided preliminary guidance to help potential applicants build their project, programme knowledge, and capacity so that they are best placed to make quality applications, with a strong focus on outcomes that meet programme targets and the overarching aim of Peace and Prosperity.

The SEUPB anticipates that a funding call for PEACEPLUS Investment Area (IA) 2.4 Smart Towns and Villages will open in Summer of 2023. In advance of the funding call, a pre-application support workshop provided preliminary guidance to help potential applicants build their project, programme knowledge, and capacity so that they are best placed to make quality applications, with a strong focus on outcomes that meet programme targets and the overarching aim of Peace and Prosperity.

Overview of Investment Area 2.4

The key objective of this IA is to “promote the socioeconomic inclusion of marginalised communities, low-income households and disadvantaged groups, including people with special needs, through integrated actions, including housing and social services”

The Programme will result in more citizens and communities accessing and utilising of Information Communications Technology (ICT) to enhance social service delivery and economic development; and as such contribute to the creation of more a resilient, vibrant and prosperous Programme Area.

An indicative budget allocation has been set at €30 Million for Investment Area 2.4.

Concept Note

A Concept Note, capturing high-level details of a project idea.

It is available as a downloadable Word document below. The Concept Note does not form part of the formal application process. Instead, it has been put in place to help guide potential applicants to strengthen their application (should they decide to make one) and to help with a smoother project implementation process in the event of funding being awarded.

Submission for 2.4 Concept Notes was Wednesday 26 April 2023.
