Londonderry Regeneration Initiative

The Londonderry Regeneration Initiative was introduced in 1988 providing opportunities to directly address social disadvantage. Funding has been distributed through Health, Education and Employment Agencies to support "extra" projects or programmes. Following the review of Londonderry Regeneration Initiative in 1995-96 priorities and targets were refined and many more resources delivered directly through the Community Sector.

The initiative consisted of three main elements:

The Londonderry Regeneration Initiative, which operated until 31 March 2004, provided funding of almost £42m to a wide variety of programmes and projects in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Londonderry.

Implementation of the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy, which commenced on 1 April 2004, will build on and complement the work of Londonderry Regeneration Initiative.
