The programme in question was funded in its entirety by the International Fund for Ireland between 1987 and 2012. It received no Department of Foreign Affairs funding.

The IFI is an independent, international organisation. Funding decisions are made by the IFI board consistent with the Fund's strategy. The current IFI strategy, Connecting Communities, runs to 2024. A copy of the strategy is available on the IFI website.
