As an independent charity, the ICLRD is a valuable source of impartial advice. Much of its work is based on long-standing relationships cultivated over many years. In this way, it acts as a \'critical friend\', supporting practitioners and policy-makers through evidence-informed analysis and independent advice. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The ICLRD achieves this through:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li>action research, policy advice and publications;&nbsp;</li><li>professional facilitation and education and capacity building programmes that assist local governments and communities to translate policy into ‘on the ground’ action;

Development (ICLRD) is publishing a series of short timely articles that explore how various forms of planning, enacted at different spatial scales, can contribute to better collaboration on the pressing issues facing both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.<br />By considering both jurisdictions on the island and the potential synergies and efficiencies that can be realised through cooperation, we aim to provide a more rounded view than considering each jurisdiction in isolation.  We believe that good planning, following international best practice, can be a major part in the crafting of practical solutions to inter-jurisdictional and cross-border cooperation.<br />These short briefs will consider the key topics, challenges and opportunities for cooperation under discussion in Belfast and Dublin (and elsewhere) and explore the critical relationships between planning and the wider economy, the environment, energy, services, housing and infrastructure.<br /><!--

Recent examples include:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Assisting the Newry and Mourne District Council and the Louth Local Authorities to prepare and adopt a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for cooperation in: emergency planning, renewable energy and green technology, tourism and recreation, sustainable economic growth and job creation (<a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/resources-library/cross-border-cooperation-and-planning/newry-dundalk-strategic-alliance/\">documentation available here)</a>.</li>\n 	<li>Supporting the cross-border development associations of Truagh, Aughnacloy, Aghaloo, The Bawn, Loughans, Clara and Carrickroe in the Monaghan/Tyrone Border area to jointly develop a community business and social economy plan.</li>\n 	<li>Supporting Armagh City and District Council and Monaghan County Council in the drafting and adoption of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which reflects the ambition of the councils to progress a number of strategic initiatives for the mutual benefit of all those living, working and visiting the region.&nbsp; Key areas of focus included:&nbsp;Tourism, Economic Development and Prosperity and Shared Services; selected because of their long-term strategic importance to the sustainable development of the region.</li>\n 	<li>Facilitating the local councils in the NW Region, and the then North West Partnership forum, to&nbsp;facilitate cross-border engagement at a strategic level, and develop an&nbsp;<a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NWPF-Action-Plan-Final-compressed.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Action Plan (opens in a new tab)\">Action Plan</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;This was developed with financial support from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade \'Reconciliation Fund\'.</li>\n 	<li>Providing&nbsp;external engagement support to the Irish Central Border Area Network Ltd. (ICBAN) in the form of a Study, specifically focusing on revitalising border towns and villages throughout the 8 Councils area of the Central Border Region.&nbsp; Th study took the form of an interim briefing paper and a <a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/revitalising-border-towns-villages/\">final position paper</a>.</li>\n 	<li>Facilitating the&nbsp;North West Strategic Growth Partnership (NWSGP), a unique partnership established in 2016 through the North South Ministerial Council that brings together senior Government officials from all Government departments in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to meet with Donegal County Council and Derry City and Strabane District Council to deliver on the strategic priorities aimed at bringing real and positive change for the North West City Region (NWCR).&nbsp; The work of the NWSGP is underpinned by the \'The North West Strategic Growth Plan: A Model for Regional Development and Growth of the North West of the Island of Ireland\', developed by the ICLRD in collaboration with both Councils and a number of the Government Departments, North and South.</li>\n 	<li>Appointed as Client Advisor to the North West City Region commissioned study \'Atlas for a City-Region: Imagining the Post-Brexit Landscapes of the Irish Northwest\'.&nbsp; This work was undertaken by Harvard University Graduate School of Design during 2018-2019.&nbsp; See&nbsp;<a id=\"LPlnk\" href=\"https://www.gsd.harvard.edu/project/atlas-for-a-city-region/\">https://www.gsd.harvard.edu/project/atlas-for-a-city-region/</a>&nbsp;for further details.</li>\n</ul>\n<h4><strong>Conferences and Events</strong></h4>\nBringing policy makers, academics and practitioners together to identify practical solutions to today’s challenges is a core ICLRD activity. Our conferences and technical workshops play an important role in shaping cooperation on the island of Ireland in the areas of spatial planning and local and regional development.\n\nReports on past

A chief concern is facilitating integrated, place-based policy-making. This requires cross-sectoral coordination and in many cases collaboration or partnership with external stakeholders. These in turn, may be business groups (e.g. Chambers of Commerce), civil society groups (e.g. housing associations, environmental NGOs) or indeed other public sector agencies at local, regional or national levels. In a cross-border context, it may be challenging to find the most appropriate contact persons \'on the other side\' due to differences in administrative structures and institutional arrangements. In such cases, ICLRD can perform the role of a bridging organisation or facilitator, building networks of public sector actors and stakeholders working on similar issues. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It is often said that strategic planning is about saving money, as new opportunities are identified and synergies created.

Although environmental policy is commonly viewed as separate from planning policy the two are interrelated. ICLRD\'s work in this field started with the a series of studies focussed on the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive and a river basin management approach in Ireland and Northern Ireland. River basin management is a form of environmental planning via functional regions. From a governance perspective it makes sense to manage water issues within river basins. Unfortunately, however, river catchment boundaries do not match with political-administrative or socio-economic regional boundaries, or indeed with groundwater boundaries!

This report focuses on the application of data for the purpose of informing policy decisions, in particular with respect to the policy objectives and strategic ambitions of the National Spatial Strategy&nbsp;for the Republic of Ireland&nbsp;(NSS) and the Regional Development Strategy for Northern Ireland (RDS). It draws on international experience at the European level and elsewhere in the UK.\nLaunched in 2001, the RDS set out an ambitious long-term strategic policy framework, with the aim of providing an explicit spatial dimension to the investment plans and sectoral policies of the Northern Ireland Executive. The NSS, published in 2002, similarly articulated a strong vision and long-term strategy for balanced regional development.&nbsp;Monitoring and evaluating the progress of the NSS and RDS in achieving their objectives has become increasingly critical in recent years with the rising levels of uncertainty and volatility in relation to spatial development and socio-economic trends and a recognized need for a fundamental reappraisal of the role of planning systems North and South. The development, application and interpretation of indicators is critical to this process as set out in the February&nbsp;2011 <a href=\"http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/DevelopmentandHousing/Planning/NationalSpatialStrategy/FileDownLoad,25407,en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">consultation document&nbsp;<em>Spatial Strategies on the Island of Ireland Framework for Collaboration</em></a>.\nWhile there have been some efforts to date to track and measure progress towards the tangible and intangible objectives of the two strategies, a framework is needed to monitor advances in a concrete and comparable way.

Together, this range of resources will help inform key decision- and policy- makers, as well as practitioners, about the modalities and benefits of adopting a shared services approach in a range of service domains, including:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Emergency Services (e.g.: emergency planning, fire, EMS)</li>\n 	<li>Arts, Heritage and Culture (e.g.: cultural heritage conservation)</li>\n 	<li>Parks and Recreation (e.g.: cross-border nature parks, wildlife programmes)</li>\n 	<li>Tourism (e.g.: trans-boundary authorities and promotion of tourist attractions)</li>\n 	<li>Specialised Services (e.g.: regional health authorities, cooperative purchasing).</li>\n</ul>\nThe resources available through this site highlight cross-border and trans-boundary cases, agreements, and examples of shared services and emphasises \"front-line\" services (as opposed to back office functions). The service areas explored here have been determined by a cross-border shared services working group involving local, regional and central government representatives from across the island of Ireland, and takes into consideration the various functions and responsibilities of local councils on the island of Ireland.\nThe Shared Services project is one of the key projects under the wider Ireland-Northern Ireland Cross-Border Cooperation Observatory (INICCO II) Programme.\nFor more information, visit the site at <a href=\"http://iclrd.org/sharedservices\" target=\"_blank\">iclrd.org/sharedservices</a>','ICLRD launches Shared Services Website','','inherit','closed','closed','','3758-revision-v1','','','2020-10-12 20:56:31','2020-10-12 20:56:31','',3758,'http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/2020/10/12/3758-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6432,1,'2020-10-12 20:57:18','2020-10-12 20:57:18','<table style=\"text-align: left; width: 575px; height: 337px;\" width=\"575\" border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top;\" rowspan=\"5\"><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/web2/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ICLRD-Report-Final-All-Change-But-Any-Alignment-Sept10.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img style=\"width: 175px; height: 286px;\" src=\"http://iclrd.org/web2/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/All-Change-But-Any-Alignment-cover2.jpg\" alt=\"Download\"></a></td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong>Title:</strong></em> </span>All Change But Any Alignment?

The significance of this inter-jurisdictional strategic planning framework is that it highlights the operational realities of facilitating cross-border planning and governance between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It asserts a joint commitment to securing a cooperative approach between the two states through a non-statutory document. In parallel, both jurisdictions are pursuing separate proposals to enhance community planning engagement and capacity. In Northern Ireland, the proposal to introduce community planning falls under the Review of Public Administration – which will herald the reorganisation of local government - together with the transfer of statutory land use planning functions from the centre to the new local authorities. Similarly, the Republic of Ireland is also witnessing a strengthening of its local governance arrangements. The <em>Local Government Reform Act 2014</em> paves the way for the creation of new local economic and community plans (LECP), which facilitate the better integration of public bodies, social and community partners to collaboratively work on integrated plans for specific actions in communities.</p>\n\n<table style=\"text-align: left; width: 575px; height: 337px;\" width=\"575\" border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top;\" rowspan=\"5\"><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ICLRD-Community-Planning-Report-GRGL-FINAL-1.pdf\"><img src=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Full-Cover-1-211x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Full Cover\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3946\"></a></td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong>Title: </strong></em></span>Community Planning and Spatial Planning in the Irish Border Region: Shaping the relationship between people and place</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong> Publication Date: </strong></em></span>December 2014</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em><strong>Team</strong></em>: </span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gavan Rafferty and Greg Lloyd</span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\n</span></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong><em>Funding: </em></strong></span>INTERREG IVA administered by the SEUPB.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><strong><em>Summary: </em></strong></span>This report seeks to explore the interfaces between land-use planning (reforms) and community planning (innovation) in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland - with a specific focus on the Irish border region.

Indeed, broadly speaking, the policy environment appears to have shifted markedly in favour of cycling and other forms of sustainable transport within the last half-decade.  Apart from the social, environmental, health and other benefits of cycling, there is also an increasing recognition of the economic potential of cycling - as demonstrated by the early stages of the Giro d’Italia cycle race on the island of Ireland in May 2014.  However, the development of a cycling culture on the island of Ireland and the associated physical infrastructure consisting of greenways and cycle routes has lagged somewhat behind many other European countries. In particular, the car has predominated as the principal mode of transport of citizens in both jurisdictions.\n<table style=\"text-align: left; width: 575px; height: 337px;\" width=\"575\" border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top;\" rowspan=\"5\"><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Cross-Border-Greenways-and-Cycle-Routes-on-the-Island-of-IrelandFinalWeb-1.pdf\"><img src=\"http://iclrd.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/BIKES-e1449595877246.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"BIKES\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4108\"></a></td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong>Title:</strong></em></span> Cross-Border Greenways and Cycle Routes on the Island of Ireland: A review of policies and future opportunities in the development of a regional network</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong> Publication Date: </strong></em></span>December 2014</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em><strong>Author</strong></em>: </span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dr. Andrew McClelland</span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\n</span></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong><em>Funding: </em></strong></span>INTERREG IVA administered by the SEUPB.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><strong><em>Summary: </em></strong></span>A key purpose of this report is to review national, regional and local policies and potential opportunities relating to greenways and cycle routes on the island of Ireland so as to support local authorities and others in the development of a region-wide greenway and cycle route network on a cross-border basis.

It places a particular emphasis on the opportunities for cross-border cooperation in the creation of a ‘joined-up’ regional network of cycling routes.

Challenges stem from having separate jurisdictions in the North and South of Ireland; each jurisdiction has separate governance regimes with several different government departments controlling functions such as planning and regulation. Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is set to play a major part in the European Union’s ‘blue economy’. With the island of Ireland’s prime geographical position, and with innovations in wind, water and wave and even algae technologies, MSP will be a vital process to enable renewable technologies to shape the future energy mix and to allow the island to emerge as a renewable energy exporter. The existence of two separate, variegated and fragmented planning traditions (both terrestrial and marine) spanning the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland may create a potential barrier to realising the island of Ireland’s ability to be a world leader in offshore renewable energy.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top;\" colspan=\"2\"><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Paper-12-SmallIsland-BigMarineChallenge-BlueEconomy-Sept13-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img style=\"width: 175px; height: 21px;\" src=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/download-button-1.png\" alt=\"download\" width=\"175\" height=\"21\"></a></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em><strong>\nRelated Documents:</strong></em></span>\n<ul>\n 	<li><em><a href=\"http://iclrd.org/2012/02/21/responding-to-the-environmental-challenge-spatial-planning-cross-border-cooperation-and-river-basin-management-2/\">Responding to the Environmental Challenge?

Spatial Planning, Cross-Border Cooperation and River Basin Management</a></strong></em>. Published in September 2011, this report recognises that environmental assets do not adhere to man-made boundaries and considers the challenges and opportunities in integrating environmental management and development strategies at national, regional and local-policy level. It builds on the recognition that the environment is increasingly lying at the heart of European thinking; with the need to protect and conserve the environment referenced in numerous Directives, not least the Water Framework Directive (WFD). For cross-border communities, this necessitates a commitment to cross-sectoral, cross-departmental and inter-jurisdictional collaboration as many of these assets transcend the Irish border.\nThe cross-border dimension of managing water resources and shared river basins brings up interesting challenges for both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland. Eight river basin districts were jointly established following a joint consultation process in 2003; with four located in the Republic of Ireland, one in Northern Ireland and three being cross-border. And as the resulting plans move into their implementation phase, it is evident that environmental considerations play an increasingly critical and decisive role in spatial planning. As such, the challenges involved in coordinating river basin management and spatial planning policy objectives are not only technical but also political.\nBuilding on the two international case studies – <a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Elbe-River-Basin-Final-Report-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">the Berlin-Brandenburg and Elbe River Basin in Germany</a> and the <a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ConnecticutRiverBasin-WaterQualityLandUsePlanning-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Connecticut River Basin in Massachusetts</a> – the report illustrates that good river basin management practices have moved towards engagement and negotiation, rather than relying solely on compliance measures or regulatory enforcement. This creates the possibility for proactive management, with an emphasis on protecting and enhancing the shared asset of the river basin. Critically, they highlight that it is the sub-regional management of the river basin itself that is key to bringing together official and civic, business and environmental leadership in a meaningful way. This is especially the case when spatial planning decisions are made at the ‘local level’.\nThe report puts forward a number of strategic options for the effective implementation of river basin plans on a cross-border basis – including integration between spatial development and water management plans. Furthermore, in the case of the Republic of Ireland where the implementation phase is under review, it proposes a number of scenarios which take due cognisance of the need for an evidence-based approach, ongoing inter-jurisdictional cooperation and jointly agreed monitoring systems, and political and public acceptance for river basin management and associated water quality protection measures – all of which requires adequate resourcing!.\n<strong><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Responding-to-the-Environmental-Challenge-ICLRD-Report-Sept11-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Download the report.&nbsp;</a></strong>','Responding to the Environmental Challenge?

Although environmental policy is commonly viewed as separate from planning policy the two are interrelated. ICLRD\'s work in this field started with the a series of studies focussed on the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive and a river basin management approach in Ireland and Northern Ireland. River basin management is a form of environmental planning via functional regions. From a governance perspective it makes sense to manage water issues within river basins. Unfortunately, however, river catchment boundaries do not match with political-administrative or socio-economic regional boundaries, or indeed with groundwater boundaries! Thus further coordination and \'institutional interplay\' is required to resolve these mismatch issues. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Currently, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"marine spatial planning (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https://www.housing.gov.ie/planning/maritime-spatial-planning/maritime-spatial-planning-directive/maritime-spatial-planning\" target=\"_blank\">marine spatial planning</a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"marine protected area designation (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https://mpatlas.org/countries/IRL\" target=\"_blank\">marine protected area designation</a> are areas of heightened policy activity where cross-sectoral coordination and transboundary cooperation, particularly with regard to the two jurisdictions on the island of Ireland. ICLRD is actively concerned to ensure integrated policy-making for coastal areas which can easily fall between the marine and terrestrial in policy terms. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Heritage similarly represents an area of emerging interest for ICLRD and relates to how issues of natural and cultural heritage and particular qualities of the both the built and natural environment are addressed in plans and strategies, whether at community, local, regional or national level.

action research with local governments, communities and central agencies; publishes Irish and international case study research to evaluate and develop good practice models; promotes evidence-based planning; hosts conferences and workshops on key themes; and delivers training for key stakeholders in the physical, social and economic development of the island of Ireland.</em></h5>\n<h4><strong>Action Research</strong></h4>\nOne of ICLRD’s primary activities is applied research into the social, economic and environmental dimensions of spatial planning, reconciliation and community regeneration and inter-regional and cross-border co-operation. ICLRD’s research brings together universities, government and community groups to address the spatial aspects of peace and reconciliation at three scales: the island of Ireland; the EU regional which includes cross-border and cooperation among local councils on each side of the border; and local with a particular focus on encouraging communities to take a proactive role in creating a stable society.\nTo see all of ICLRD papers and publications, including its research reports, click<a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/resources-library/\"> here</a>.\n<h4><a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/activities-2/training-and-capacity-building-2/\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\"><strong>Training and Capacity Building</strong></a></h4>\nA core activity for ICLRD is to offer professional education programmes for public officials, civic leaders, non-governmental organisations and other practitioners involved in local, regional and national development. Devolution in Northern Ireland, the shifting of new responsibilities to local authorities, and cross-border programmes that increase the role of local governments in developing and managing their cross-border programs all point to the need for new capacity building programmes. ICLRD capacity building activities emphasise knowledge transfer through our conferences and technical workshops. Our research activities and expanded networks provide timely case study materials, best practices, and operational linkages to EU cross-border programmes. For more information on current and past training and capacity-building activities <a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/activities-2/training-and-capacity-building-2/\">click here</a>.&nbsp;\n<h4><strong>Advocacy and Demonstration - Evidence-Based Planning</strong></h4>\nIn its research on inter-jurisdictional and cross-border planning ICLRD has shown that one of the first entry points to developing cooperation among central and local governments is providing information and shared evidence on common issues such as housing, trade, environment, transport and services. The process of collection, joint analysis, reports and forums can help to build an agenda for action around common interests and challenges. In collaboration with the Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute (<a href=\"https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/social-sciences-institute\">MUSSI)</a> and its All-Island Research Observatory (<a href=\"https://airo.maynoothuniversity.ie/\">AIRO</a>) initiative, the ICLRD is supporting evidence-informed decision-making.\n<h4><strong>Technical Assistance and Outreach</strong></h4>\nThe ICLRD provides technical assistance and outreach to local government agencies and communities to help them deliver specific programmes often identified through ICLRD’s training or research activities. Recent examples include:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Assisting the Newry and Mourne District Council and the Louth Local Authorities to prepare and adopt a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for cooperation in: emergency planning, renewable energy and green technology, tourism and recreation, sustainable economic growth and job creation (<a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/resources-library/cross-border-cooperation-and-planning/newry-dundalk-strategic-alliance/\">documentation available here)</a>.</li>\n 	<li>Supporting the cross-border development associations of Truagh, Aughnacloy, Aghaloo, The Bawn, Loughans, Clara and Carrickroe in the Monaghan/Tyrone Border area to jointly develop a community business and social economy plan.</li>\n 	<li>Supporting Armagh City and District Council and Monaghan County Council in the drafting and adoption of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which reflects the ambition of the councils to progress a number of strategic initiatives for the mutual benefit of all those living, working and visiting the region.&nbsp; Key areas of focus included:&nbsp;Tourism, Economic Development and Prosperity and Shared Services; selected because of their long-term strategic importance to the sustainable development of the region.</li>\n 	<li>Facilitating the local councils in the NW Region, and the then North West Partnership forum, to&nbsp;facilitate cross-border engagement at a strategic level, and develop an&nbsp;<a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NWPF-Action-Plan-Final-compressed.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Action Plan (opens in a new tab)\">Action Plan</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;This was developed with financial support from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade \'Reconciliation Fund\'.</li>\n 	<li>Providing&nbsp;external engagement support to the Irish Central Border Area Network Ltd.

Our conferences and technical workshops play an important role in shaping cooperation on the island of Ireland in the areas of spatial planning and local and regional development.\n\nReports on past ICLRD conferences may be accessed <a href=\"http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/library/post-conference-reports/\">here</a>','Activities','','inherit','closed','closed','','1980-autosave-v1','','','2020-10-14 17:06:07','2020-10-14 17:06:07','',1980,'http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/2020/10/14/1980-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6489,16,'2020-10-14 17:09:34','2020-10-14 17:09:34',' ','','','publish','closed','closed','','6489','','','2020-10-28 00:49:57','2020-10-28 00:49:57','',1980,'http://dev.iclrd.org/iclrd2/?p=6489',9,'nav_menu_item','',0),(6490,16,'2020-10-15 07:12:31','2020-10-15 07:12:31','<!-- wp:image {\"id\":6492,\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"http://iclrd.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/NW_news_item.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6492\"/></figure></div>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In July 2020, the ICLRD commenced a new contract to support both Derry City and Strabane District Council and Donegal County Council in the various out-workings of the North West City Region (NWCR) initiative.&nbsp;

A chief concern is facilitating integrated, place-based policy-making. This requires cross-sectoral coordination and in many cases collaboration or partnership with external stakeholders. These in turn, may be business groups (e.g. Chambers of Commerce), civil society groups (e.g. housing associations, environmental NGOs) or indeed other public sector agencies at local, regional or national levels. In a cross-border context, it may be challenging to find the most appropriate contact persons \'on the other side\' due to differences in administrative structures and institutional arrangements. In such cases, ICLRD can perform the role of a bridging organisation or facilitator, building networks of public sector actors and stakeholders working on similar issues. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It is often said that strategic planning is about saving money, as new opportunities are identified and synergies created.
