Appendix 3 - Building Consensus through Participation
Work on the preparation of the Regional Development Strategy
began in 1997 and has been characterised by extensive public
consultation and participation.
Elected representatives, political parties, district councils,
groups from the community and voluntary sectors, business
organisations, public sector bodies and individual citizens
engaged in an inclusive, comprehensive and constructive dialogue
with Government about the content of the Strategy.
The Government is grateful to everyone who contributed,
either through their participation in meetings, seminars,
workshops and conferences, or, in making formal, written submissions
at various stages in the process.
The Urban Institute of the University of Ulster, Queens
University, Community Technical Aid and the Rural Community
Network not only facilitated inputs from the community and
voluntary sectors, but also produced a number of reports which
added significantly to the debate. The Northern Ireland Youth
Council's conferences in Belfast and Londonderry, and its
subsequent report, ensured that the views of young people
were suitably expressed.
Throughout the process, the Government has had valuable
support from a number of advisers, with international experience
in regional planning, and wishes to acknowledge their help
and assistance.
The decision to conduct an independent Public Examination
into major issues received widespread support and the Government
wishes to record its appreciation to the Panel and to the
participants for ensuring the proceedings were conducted with
integrity and propriety.
The 744 entries shown below are a representation of all
those who have joined together to build consensus for the
content of the Strategy – any omissions are entirely accidental.
