Building Sustainable Prosperity

The Rural Development Programme 2001-2006 for Building Sustainable Prosperity addresses development priorities, which are commonplace throughout the less prosperous regions of the European Community. It will play a key role in the transition to a more peaceful, stable, prosperous, fair and outward looking society, sustained by a better physical environment.

The programme will address a range of development needs including improvements to infrastructure and increasing the skills of the workforce to improve the region’s competitiveness.

It has 5 key elements delivered by DARD and our Partners.

The programme particularly welcomes projects that address the needs and opportunities of youth, long-term unemployed, farmers and farm families, and women.

The publication “Sustaining Rural Communities” provides examples of the type of projects being funded under each element of BSP together with background knowledge into the overall Rural Development Programme 2001-2006.
