This project is funded by the UK Government through the Local Growth Fund.

In Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland Executive departments and their Accounting Officer(s) will plan and oversee delivery of the Fund, with the exception of the delivery of skills and employment support and business advice in 2026-27, which will be managed by MHCLG directly[footnote 1]. A Memorandum of Understanding will describe how the Northern Ireland Executive and UK Government will work together over the programme period.

For the period 26 - 27 the budget for WBBNI was reduced by 64% as that was ringfenced for capital projects only, reducing our programme of training and education provision to 36% of the budget for previous year, and our targets are amended accordingly.
