Under article 11(2) of the European Regional Development Fund regulation, Ireland is required to allocate 8% of ERDF resources to Sustainable Urban Development. The two Irish ERDF programmes outline plans to support the sustainable regeneration of towns and urban centres in conjunction with the Government’s Town Centre First Policy. I appointed the Northern and Western Regional Assembly (NWRA) as Managing Authority for the 2021-27 ERDF programme in the Northern and Western region. The NWRA will be in charge of the implementation of the programme in that region and will set out further detail in due course.
