PEACE PLUS is a new programme focused on supporting social, economic and regional stability, in particular by promoting cohesion between communities. A financing agreement for the programme was agreed between the UK Government, Irish Government and European Commission.
The biggest PEACE programme to date, PEACE PLUS has a total budget of almost 1 billion. The UK Government is providing more than 730 million to the programme, which includes match funding contribution from the Northern Ireland Executive.
This will be the fifth PEACE programme implemented by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). Relevant community organisations are encouraged to apply to PEACE PLUS funding calls which are now open. More information on how to apply is available here on SEUPBs website.
