Focus on the Future SD Implementation Plan 2011-2014

Focus on the Future Image The NI Executive's Sustainable Development Implementation Plan has been published (April 2011). Due to the size of the document, Sustainable Northern Ireland has separated it into smaller sections: Central Government Departments; Everyone's Involved and details relating to the six Priority Areas for Action within the SDS.

The SD Implementation Plan is endorsed by the NI Executive and should work in parrallel with the next Programme for Government (PfG). The six priority areas within the SD Strategy and the Implementation Plan are the same ones from from the previous PfG, and are likely to remain as priority areas within this Executive's PfG.
