This document sets out the approach taken to develop the strategic plan; the overarching governance to support implementation of the plan; the vision and values of the NEIC; and the objectives and priority actions to achieve the NEIC goals. The ambitious three year plan builds on the actions outlined in the Mulvey Report and the recommendations contained in the Just Economics Report; supports the future vision for the NEIC area; and aligns initiatives with the implementation of national policy, including both the National Drug and Alcohol Strategy 2017 – 2021 and the Sustainable, Inclusive and Empowered Communities: A Five-Year Strategy to Support the Community and Voluntary Sector in Ireland 2019-2024. The priority actions contained within this document were developed with input from key stakeholders across each of the NEIC sub groups, including community stakeholders and representatives from the PIB. Throughout the implementation process of this plan, the PIB and NEIC subgroups will monitor and review progress against the plan and will use key performance indicators and metrics to ensure successful delivery and outcomes are achieved.
