• racism
• reconciliation
• public sector

The Special EU Programmes Body is calling for applications under PEACE III 2.2 for key institutional capacities to be developed for a Shared Society.

In keeping with the overall aim of the PEACE III Programme, applications must clearly demonstrate how the proposed operation will reinforce progress towards a peaceful and stable society and promote reconciliation.

PRIORITY 2.2: Key Institutional Capacities are Developed for a Shared Society. Under this theme applications are sought in two main areas:

• Area 1: Pilot innovative service delivery models with the potential for mainstreaming.
• Area 2: European and international networking; Exchange of best practice.

Key Principles Key principles must be demonstrated in each application. These include:

• Additionality: The proposed operation must be clearly additional and offer something new, over and above current activities.
• Appropriate Scale: The quantum of the funding sought must be commensurate with the expected outcomes and impacts.
• Complementarity: There must be no duplication of activities funded by other European or statutory sources.
• Need in the locality: The proposal must consider the balance of funding across the eligible region.

Proposals must be strategic in focus and implemented on a regional basis across the whole eligible region of Northern Ireland and the Border Region of Ireland. Proposals must focus on areas and groups that have been affected by the conflict. All applications should be made by a public sector body or equivalent.

This means that presently there is no advertised closing date. However, a closing date will be announced at a later date as the funding under this theme is distributed. This does not rule out Community and Voluntary groups from application. If you need clarification on this, then please contact NICVA for more details.
