Motion: Continuation of PEACEPLUS Funding beyond 2027
Proposed:
That this Assembly notes the positive impact that PEACEPLUS funding has had on the cross-border economy and grass-roots community organisations; recognises the value of PEACEPLUS with £1 billion worth of funding allocated to 145 projects from the 2021-27 scheme so far; further notes the vital support from the European Union in securing the Good Friday Agreement; acknowledges the agreement in principle from the British Government, the Dublin Government and the EU that there will be a successor to PEACEPLUS; welcomes the agreement in the European Parliament Committee for Regional Development for a central allocation for PEACEPLUS funding to be secured as part of the EU's multiannual budget following an amendment by Sinn Féin MEPs; further recognises that, while this will help restore the financial basis for PEACEPLUS beyond 2027, more clarity is needed on the overall funding amounts; and calls on the Executive, the British Government and the Dublin Government to engage with the European Union to ensure that the value of funding allocated is valued at the same rate or above that of the previous PEACEPLUS Programme.
