The content of the Programmes was informed by two public consultations held in 2012 and 2014, a socio-economic profile of the region and extensive consultation with Government Departments and agencies in Northern Ireland, Ireland and Western Scotland.  The development of the Programmes has also been informed by the European Union's key policy instruments, namely the Europe 2020 Strategy (EU2020), the Common Strategic Framework and the European Commission's position papers on the UK and Ireland.  Their content has been agreed by the Northern Ireland Executive, the Irish Government and the European Commission.

The Special EU Programmes Body has an Environmental Policy Statement which outlines specific measures we are taking which will enable us to reduce our carbon footprint.

The Corporate Plan sets out how the SEUPB has translated its vision into a strategy for the period 2017-2019, as well as the Body’s aims, objectives and goals. It explains how the Body intends to direct its resources in order to fulfil its duties under the legislation which it operates within.

The Business Plan reviews the Body’s performance and describes how it plans to deliver against the commitments set out in the Corporate Plan 2017-19. The Business Plan places emphasis on those key actions and associated targets for activity based initiatives for each of the Corporate Objectives.
