The local agenda 21 environment partnership fund, LA21EPF, promotes sustainable development by assisting environmental awareness projects at a local level that involve partnership arrangements between local authorities and local community groups, schools and environmental NGOs. Allocations from the environment fund, from which the Department's contribution to the local agenda 21 environment partnership fund is drawn, will be finalised shortly. I look forward to the continued operation of the partnership fund.
