The PEACEPLUS Programme

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council has been allocated €5.6 million under Theme 1 ‘Building Peaceful and Thriving Communities’ to deliver a co-designed local community PEACEPLUS Action Plan.  The co-designed approach enables diverse partnerships to establish priority actions for their local areas and collectively address these in a manner which will make a significant and lasting contribution to peace and reconciliation.

Following an extensive consultation process to identify local community needs and key priorities, the Council has submitted a PEACEPLUS Action Plan to the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) for approval.  It is anticipated that the Action Plan will launch Winter 2024 with a number of communication/networking events to get residents and local communities involved thereafter.

The PEACEPLUS Action Plan will aim to engage local communities in the development, implementation and participation in cross community activities under three thematic strands:

1. Local Community Regeneration and Transformation

2. Thriving and Peaceful Communities

3. Building Respect for all Cultural Identities
