Ireland
FY 2001 Program Description
>> Regional Overview >> Ireland Overview FY 2001 Program
The Fund's principal efforts are directed at reducing the economic hardships of unemployment and community infrastructure decay in order to reduce the economic differences that exacerbate social disruption along religious lines and consolidate the recent successes of the Peace Process.
The Fund is multilateral and non-partisan. It disburses funds in accordance with the economic and social policies and priorities of both the Irish and United Kingdom governments. The Fund is evaluated periodically in terms of internal management and goals, including the priorities identified by the U.S. Government (e.g. equal employment opportunity, job creation, and leveraging additional resources). It is at the local community level that real change has to take place in order to achieve increased employment, social progress and promote reconciliation between people from different cultural backgrounds.
During FY 2001, the Fund will continue to support the active involvement of communities in shaping their own futures. The Fund will emphasize projects that support economic regeneration and community development, with a focus on disadvantaged areas and empowerment of its youth populations for future employability.
