‘Mapping Cooperation Opportunities across the Central Border Region’ Shane Campbell ICBAN (Irish Central Border Area Network) CCBS Seminar, 14 November 2018 3
Cross-Border Co-operation in the Central Border Region • Cross-Border cooperating since mid 1990s • Focus has been on Economic • Brexit - ‘The times they are a - changing’ • Challenge – cooperating where one area plans to leave the EU (NI) while the adjacent is in EU (Ireland) • Changing environments requires organisations/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 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 6
‘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.” [emphasis added] ! 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. ” [emphasis added] Source: Iriss (2015) Place-based working .

Cross-Border Planning Instruments • 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 Source: Gavan Rafferty, Ulster University, Seminar with Community Planning Coordinators, 4 September 2018

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 13
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
