9 May 2019

Agenda

• Introductions

• Workshops: The Approach

• Assessment criteria: Overview

• Peace IV: The Strategic Framework

• Output and results indicators

• Assessment of need: The P&R dimension

Workshops: The Approach

Purpose

• To provide prospective applicants with advice and guidance to cover the following areas:

– The requirements of the PEACE IV Programme.

– The SEUPB application assessment process.

– Evidencing need and demand.

– Evidencing contribution to delivering the requirements of the PEACE Programme.

– Value for Money.

Delivery

• Goals:– To ensure common understanding of the

requirements of a Promoting Positive Relations project

– To demonstrate the assessment criteria

• Three workshops, to be held on the following dates:– Thursday, 9 May 2019.– Wednesday, 22 May 2019.– Tuesday, 4 June 2019.

• The slides will be posted on the SEUPB website

Scope

• Advice and guidance within the context of the requirements of the Peace IV Building Positive Relations Priority and the SEUPB project selection criteria

• Will not be providing advice on technical matters that are more properly addressed with reference to Rules of the Programme, e.g., unit cost calculations

• Will not offer opinion on prospects for success

Assessment Criteria: Overview

SEUPB Criteria for Assessment

• Contribution of the project to the defined results and outputs of the programme

• Quality of project design

• Quality of cross community and cross border co-operation with demonstrable added value

• Quality of project team and implementation arrangements

• Value for money

• Contribution to sustainable development

• Contribution to equality

SEUPB Assessment

• Each criterion is scored from 1 to 5.

• Scores are weighted and added.

• Maximum possible score is 100.

• Quality thresholds:

– A total score of at least 60

and

– A score of three or more on each criterion.

• A competitive process – so aim higher than 60!

Little variation in average scores across criteria. More variability within each criterion (compare distance between min and max), especially the first three.

Contribution of the project to the defined results and outputs of the

programme

Issues for the assessment

• Does the project demonstrate a good fit with strategic context?

• Are there clear objectives that directly relate to the results and outputs of the call for applications?

• To what extent is the project expected to make a significant contribution to the results of the programme?

Peace IV Strategic Framework

The Peace and Reconciliation Programme

• The core strategic framework

• Have to think about the need in P&R terms first and foremost

• Related to, but distinct from, needs or opportunities around, e.g., gaps in service offerings, deprivation, regeneration

The Peace Programme: Rationale

Problems ‘Specific’ to Northern Ireland and

Border Region

‘Core’ economic and societal problems

Community cohesion

Building a competitive

economy

Need to increase RTDIPromote value-added industryEncourage new businessTackle unemployment and inactivity

SegregationBarriers to interaction, real and perceivedPolarisationMutual distrustMarginalisationRacismLack of community cohesion

Barriers to social and economic progress – areas of ‘market failure’:

Strategic aim

Support actions that will:• Develop and deepen reconciliation between divided communities

• Increase tolerance and respect• Promote increased community cohesion and contact

• Enhance cross-border cooperation• Address the legacy of the past

Final objectives

The Peace IV Programme: Strategic Aim and Objectives

To reinforce progress towards a peaceful and stable society and to promote reconciliation

Primary objectives

Attitudinal and behavioural changee.g. respect, tolerance, understanding, engagement and interaction

The Peace Programme: Underpinning Theories of Change

• The individual change theory– Peace comes through transformative change of a critical

mass of individuals, their consciousness, attitudes, behaviours and skills.

– Activities include investment in individual change through training, dialogue and encounter groups, trauma healing.

• The healthy relationships and connections theory– Peace emerges out of a process of breaking down

isolation, polarisation, division, prejudice and stereotypes between / amongst groups.

– Activities include inter-group dialogue, networking, relationship building processes, joint efforts and practical programmes on substantive problems.

The Peace IV Programme: Specific Objectives

To reinforce progress towards a peaceful and stable society and to promote reconciliation

Primary objectives

Peace IV: Lessons from Peace III• The need for future funding to address issues surrounding

the sense of identity within communities and tackling the challenges presented by symbols, flags and related issues

• Increased emphasis on cross-community work as opposed to single identity interventions in order to reduce the risk of entrenching divisions

• Emphasis on sustained and meaningful contact:

– “The theory of change which underpins the Programme emphasises the importance of contact at an individual and community level.”

Peace IV Logic Model

Building Positive Relations: Rationale

• Reduction in the overall level of violence directly related to the conflict.

• However:– Continued high levels of sectarianism and racism.

– New challenges – Increasing levels of ethnic diversity alongside relatively high levels of socio-economic deprivation in some areas.

– Due to the history of division in Northern Ireland and the Border Region, some sections of society have not yet developed the capacity to deal positively with diversity and difference.

Source: Co-Operation Programme, pages 36-37

Building Positive Relations: Aim and Objectives

• Aim is to provide opportunities for sustained, meaningful and purposeful contact between individuals and groups of different backgrounds and on a cross border basis.

• Resulting in a reduction in isolation, polarisation, division, prejudice, sectarianism, racism and stereotypes between/among groups.

Source: Co-Operation Programme, pages 36-37

Building Positive Relations: Delivery

• Promote the creation of and participation in cross-community events, particularly at the grass roots community level by: – Investing in sustainable networks– Build strong civic leadership.

• Involving organisations that can make a positive impact in building sustainable cross-community relations at two levels:– SO 4.1 – Local Authority-led– SO 4.2 – Regional projects - Issues and target groups

that transcend local authority boundaries

Source: Co-Operation Programme, page 27

Objective 4 Building Positive Relations

OBJECTIVE 4The promotion of positive relations

characterised by respect, and where cultural

diversity is celebrated and people can live, learn and socialise together, free from prejudice, hate and

intolerance

30% 38%

The Output Target

• See NISRA Output Indicator Guidance (page 46)

• Definitions:

– Regional level projects

– Meaningful, purposeful and sustained

– Different communities

• Achievement

The Output Target

• Regional level projects

– Transcend local authority boundaries

– Should facilitate cross-border co-operation

– Demonstrate rationale for regional implementation and impact (versus local)

– Address relevant strategic and policy issues

– Should not be engaged in widespread service delivery at the local level

Source: NISRA, Peace IV Output Indicator Guidance, page 45.

The Output Target

• Meaningful, purposeful & sustained

– Contact should be worthwhile and have a function, it should result in the participation of shared activities, and be of a sufficient intensity and duration to ensure a transformative experience.

• Note reference to ‘shared activities’

• But not prescriptive in terms of, e.g., duration

• Useful, therefore, to consider definitions in other parts of the Guidance

The Output Target

• SO 4.1 Local Action Plans

• Contact is defined as sustained where it meets the following definition:

– Continued for a minimum period of 6 months and/or involve a minimum of 26 hours contact

• Also in SO 2 (Children and Young People)

• In SO1 (Shared Education), sustained is “one term within a single academic year”

The Output Target

• Different communities– Relates to persons of different religious belief, ethnic or

racial group. Initiatives should evidence commitment to tackling real and complex issues, such as racism and sectarianism, which prevent the benefits of a united and shared community being realised. Initiatives should also ensure that sub-projects evidence this commitment and that evidence is retained.

• Again, not prescriptive in terms of, e.g., cross-community mix

• Such requirements are spelled out for other priority areas

The Output Target

• In SO4.1 Local Action Plans, cross-community participation requirements are defined as follows:

– Variation between participating groups of the two main community backgrounds not normally more than 20% (i.e. a 60/40 cross-community split).

– Due to the population demographics of the Border Region of Ireland (BRI), an 80/20 cross-community threshold is acceptable.

Source: NISRA, Peace IV Output Indicator Guidance, page 44.

The Output Target

• SO 4.1 Guidance also encompasses other communities:– Usage also encouraged by people from other

communities, e.g., minority ethnic communities and those of different racial backgrounds.

– Where either the 80/20 BRI or 60/40 NI cross-community split is too difficult to achieve, SEUPB will consider including participants from minority ethnic communities and those of different racial backgrounds within the lower threshold group.

Source: NISRA, Peace IV Output Indicator Guidance, page 44.

The Output Target

• Achievement

– Recorded once activity in a project has completed.

– Details of indicative actions within the projects, including details of events and numbers of participants should be recorded and retained.

– Where appropriate, data should be obtained to allow a gender, religion/community background and/or ethnic/racial group breakdown of participants.

Source: NISRA, Peace IV Output Indicator Guidance, page 44.

The Output Target

• Key points summary:– Must be contact between persons from different

communities.– What is ‘meaningful, purposeful and sustained’ is not

prescribed– How to evidence that and demonstrate the contact

(e.g., a partnership) is not ‘token’.– Different communities – mix is not prescribed. But

having regard to the PIV programme and how that is defined elsewhere in Programme, should be genuinely balanced.

– Must be regional in reach and impact.

The Results Indicators

• Baselines taken from the NI Life and Times Survey (NILTS)

• The Peace IV indicators are from the Community Relations and Attitudes to Minority Ethnic People modules

• An annual survey, since 1998, designed to measure:– The attitudes, values and beliefs of the people in Northern

Ireland to a wide range of social policy issues

• Based on a sample of the general population – 1,200 in 2017

• Can browse results, by year, at https://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/results/.

The Results Indicators

• Projects are not responsible for data collection.

– That will be done by SEUPB, drawing on the NILTS results

• Applications need to demonstrate, in concrete terms:

– How their project is relevant to the results indicators

– The nature and scale of the contribution that their project is expected to have with regard to the results indicators

Results Indicators• How would you interpret and then answer the

questions posed in the results indicators?

– What about relations between Protestants and Catholics? Would you say they are better than they were 5 years ago, worse, or about the same now as then?

– And what about in 5 years time? Do you think relations between Protestants and Catholics will be better than now, worse than now, or about the same as now?

– I personally know quite a bit about the culture of some minority ethnic communities living in Northern Ireland (Strongly agree, agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree, strongly disagree)

Assessment of Need: The P&R Dimension

The Call Requirements• Main outputs

– 1 Pilot Pathway/Outreach Programme

– Lessons learned report

– Pilot website

• Mandatory target regions

– Pilot Project must have regional impact.

– Within that, must target:

• A minimum of two of the five Urban Village areas in Northern Ireland

• One pilot must take place in Border Region

Demonstrating the Need (‘Market failure’)

• Segregated spaces– Physical barriers

– Virtual or perceived barriers

– Contested spaces

– Single identity use

• Absence of opportunities for:– Increased engagement between communities

– Normalisation of relationships

– Tackling sectarianism, racism

• Legacy issues

Market Failure: Segregation

• Segregation

– Communities - living in separate spaces

– Constrains opportunities for sustained, meaningful and purposeful contact

• A ‘birds-eye’ view, at three levels:

– Northern Ireland

– The Urban Villages

– The Border Counties
