Answer
The North Belfast Strategic Good Relations Programme (NBSGRP) is evaluated annually by the Community Relations Council, who are responsible for the delivery of the programme.
Periodic independent evaluations are also conducted, with the most recent being in 2022 carried out by Department of Finance’s Business Consultancy Services. The finding of this review confirms that the programme has been successful in achieving its intended aims of improving relations between and within communities in North Belfast; providing local solutions to local good relations issues; and contributing to progress the four key priorities in the T:BUC Strategy of Children & Young People, Shared Community, Safe Community and Cultural Expression.
