In Northern Ireland, UK Government will have oversight of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). We want to work closely with local partners to design a Northern Ireland investment plan. We will refine the plan in consultation with stakeholders in a way that reflects the needs of Northern Ireland’s economy and society. This group could include representatives from Northern Ireland Executive Departments, local authorities, businesses and the community and voluntary sector.

As noted in the UKSPF Prospectus published on April 13, from April to June/July 2022 UK Government will work with stakeholders in Northern Ireland to develop local investment plans. In Summer 2022 Application processes and templates for Northern Ireland will be published. The investment plan window closes on 1 August.
