PEACE IV Programme Overview
What is the aim of the Programme?
The PEACE IV Programme is designed to support peace and reconciliation. Initially created in 1995 as a direct result of the EU's desire to make a positive response to the paramilitary ceasefires of 1994. Whilst significant progress has been made since then, there remains a need to improve cross-community relations and where possible further integrate divided communities.
