‘Mapping Cooperation Opportunities across the Central Border Region’

Shane Campbell ICBAN (Irish Central Border Area Network) CCBS Seminar, 14 November 2018

Cross-Border Co-operation in the Central Border Region

• Challenge – cooperating where one area

plans to leave the EU (NI) while the adjacent is in EU (Ireland)

• Changing environments requires
• rganisations/Regions to respond

accordingly

• Needs:
• Opportunities for discussion on the future of

co-operation

• Collectively to navigate the challenges of a

post-Brexit era

4

• Cross-Border cooperating since mid 1990s
• Focus has been on Economic
• Brexit - ‘The times they are a-changing’

Cross-Border Cooperation in 2018

• Recognition that cross-border cooperation more

important than before (cooperation not competition)

• ‘The harder the border, the greater the need to

cooperate’

• Improved cooperation between Corporate Councils
• Opportunities to localise potential benefits through

collaborations in Community Planning

Prioritising Areas for LA Cooperation

– Tackling Rural Disadvantage – Infrastructure incl. Digital Connectivity – Social and environmental well-being – Promoting Connections – Managing with Brexit

‘Community Planning’ is…

…a process facilitated by Councils in conjunction with partners and communities to develop and implement a shared vision for their area, which involves:

• working together to plan and deliver better services
• making a real difference to people's lives (social,

economic and environmental well-being)

• measuring outcomes and monitoring performance

7

Community Planning – The Context

Community Planning is about inputs, outputs and outcomes…

8

A return to the local

• Local (and functional) geographies and well-being

“…wellbeing as ‘a description of social progress in terms of improvements in quality of life, material conditions and sustainability’ (OECD, 2015). While policies at jurisdictional levels are important for these factors, individual wellbeing is also shaped at a very localised level. … Where we live – the very streets and neighbourhoods – matter and have an impact on our wellbeing.”

Place – ‘the local’ – is where people express positive or negative social, economic and environmental wellbeing!

Place-based working

“Place-based working is a person-centred, bottom-up approach used to meet the unique needs of people in one given location by working together to use the best available resources and collaborate to gain local knowledge and insight. By working collaboratively with the people who live and work locally, it aims to build a picture of the system from a local perspective, taking an asset-based approach that seeks to highlight the strengths, capacity and knowledge of all those involved.”

• Spatial Planning is concerned with place-making
• Spatial - beyond traditional land use planning to bring together and

integrate policies and plans influencing spatial change

• ‘Community Planning’ is concerned with place-shaping
• Services – improvement to the co-design and co-delivery of public

services

• Both Planning functions:
• Deal with, and manage, change
• Adopt place-based thinking and approaches
• Are integrative - for bringing coherence to increasingly fragmented

policy landscape

• Are collaborative – promoting greater inclusivity and participation

with other state, civil and private actors

Mapping Our Areas’ Community Plans

• Objectives of the exercise (spring/summer 2018):

– Promote a greater shared understanding – help facilitate contact between the various Community Plans – identify synergies to be advanced through cross-border co-operation

• The opportunities in the commonalities
• All areas have Community Plans (‘Local Economic and Community

Plans’ RoI; ‘Community Plans’ NI)

• Timeframes similar (RoI 2021: NI a bit longer 2026-2030)
• All have balance of the Economic and Social
• The Methodology to Mapping the Linkages:
• Common Themes
• Commonalities and Differences at Objectives levels
• Actions with Cross-Border Potential

Building a Momentum

• All areas have embraced the Mapping Exercise
• Community Planning Coordinators meeting 4/9/18
• Energy and enthusiasm to reconvene
• Not without its challenges:
• Priorities: Delivering local vs regional +/ cross-border
• National governmental supports for CP
• Differing stages of development between Ireland and NI
• Getting wins
• Brexit
• Resourcing joint-working

Wellbeing of this and future generations

 Considerable input from volunteers, resource workers

and Local Authorities

 Was seen initially as a very complex structure, but now

working in practice.

 Varying stages of development across the country  Representation on LAs/committees via PPNs  Capacity building/training in progress  Need continued development and support

 Wide range of experiences

• Very dependent on key roles e.g. chair, LA interactions

 Positives

• Equality at the table
• PPNs as key players in LECPs
• Representation on key committees e.g. LCDC, SPC

 Negatives

• Logistics (meeting times/participation rates by others etc.)
• Demands on C/V sector – volunteers expected to participate in

myriad of structures

• Technical jargon e.g. acronym overload!

 Each PPN is charged with developing a Wellbeing

Statement at both Municipal District and county/city level.

 A wellbeing statement looks at what is required for

the wellbeing of individuals and communities both at present and in the future.

 Wellbeing is a multifaceted entity combining social,

economic, democratic and environmental factors. It requires that basic needs are met, that people have a sense of purpose, and that they feel able to achieve important goals, to participate in society and to live the lives they value and have reason to value.

What is Community Wellbeing?

Although we often think about wellbeing in terms of good physical and mental health, it can also describe the wider conditions we need as individuals and communities to have a better quality of life, healthier environment and increased prosperity. Considering all the aspects of community wellbeing together helps us to identify actions that can be undertaken by communities alongside local and national governments.

How did Longford PPN create this Community Wellbeing Vision?

<Insert pictures of the workshop(s) carried out in developing the Vision & delete this text>

Vision of Community Wellbeing for County Longford

Based on the input from the workshops and online consultation for the three Municipal Districts, we have developed the following

• verarching vision:

County Longford has beautiful natural resources which are sustained, valued and protected. It is rich in history, values, culture and traditions and is inclusive of all people supporting community participation and volunteerism. It has adequate services, supports, facilities, infrastructure and a thriving diverse economy.

Examples under the six Community Wellbeing Categories

There is ongoing training and education on local and national government structures so that the electorate can make informed choices at election time. (G.MD.) Businesses/enterprises are sustainable with the introduction of reduced rates and supports (L.MD) Older people are supported to remain in their own homes through recognising and rewarding the role of carers and provision of accessible respite care. (B.MD)

Examples under the six Community Wellbeing Categories

There are creative initiatives for renewable energy, waste management and resource use. (in households, farms, businesses, etc.) (G.MD) Dedicated, fit-for-purpose, staffed, multifunctional spaces and facilities are available and accessible to all members of the community (B. MD) Intergenerational training provided through Men’s Shed. (L. MD)

• The PPN will use the Vision for Community Wellbeing

in Longford to:

• Communicate the aspirations of the community to state

agencies and local representatives

• Inform its work in representing the community
• Seeking to influence decisions and actions to help realise this

vision

What happens next?

Influencing policies, plans, strategies, projects :

• Healthy Longford Plan
• Walking Cycling Strategy
• Longford Intercultural Strategy
• Council Municipal District Meetings
• Longford Chamber of Commerce
• Invitation to meet the President
• Input into PPN Workplan – PPN Reps/Town Teams/LEADER/HSE/

ETB/LSP

• WBV Review 3 years/ Updates at every County Plenary Meeting

• Increasing PPN membership

is positive BUT

• How do you make sure everyone

is informed?

• Volume of information
• Pressure on

volunteers/community reps

• Consultation and volunteer

fatigue

• Accessing information
• Where to start!
• Rural considerations
• Broadband, transport etc.
• Marathon not a sprint!
