North West Peace III Partnership Community Survey

The North West PEACE III Partnership covers the Council areas of Strabane, Derry and Omagh. We currently fund 60 Peace and reconciliation projects across the North West and are now consulting on needs and priorities for the next phase (2011-2013). This survey is part of the consultation and includes two parts. Part I explores attitudes and we will monitor any changes to these over time. Part 2 will help us shape priorities for the next phase of funding in the North West. You do not need to provide your name and the survey is therefore anonymous. Thank you for your time.
