The Special EU Programmes Body has opened a public consultation on the content of the future PEACEPLUS Programme.
This will cover the Programme period from 2028 to 2034.
The organisation is seeking views from communities, voluntary organisations, businesses, councils, public bodies and individuals on the challenges and opportunities the programme should address in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland.
The consultation will inform the work of SEUPB to develop a programme for submission to the European Commission.
The current funding programme, PEACEPLUS, has a total value of €1.14 billion, and is co-funded by the European Union, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Government of Ireland, and the Northern Ireland Executive.
The budget for the future PEACEPLUS Programme will be confirmed in due course.
The online consultation is open until Monday 21 December at 5pm. Further information, including a video setting out plans for the new programme, is available on SEUPB’s website.
SEUPB is also giving people the chance to share their views by hosting in-person engagement events across Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland in early 2027.
These events are taking place after the closure of the online consultation.
Details of the events and how to register are available via this link: www.seupb.eu/new-peaceplus-programme.
