About the programme
The All-Island Local Authority Forum provides opportunities for cross-border co-operation on a range of issues of mutual interest to both administrations by facilitating collaboration of best practice and joint initiatives as well as a shared learning.
How it works
Relationship building is a cross cutting theme of all activities undertaken by the Forum and typical activities delivered include conferences, study visits, training seminars, and learning exchange events.
The Forum operates through a working group structure, with thematic sub-groups and the current priority areas of focus for the All-Island Local Authority Forum are:
Leadership
Climate Action and Mitigation
Town Centre Regeneration
Sustainable Tourism
