On behalf of both Departments of Health, CAWT is managing a range of cross border health and social care programmes, part financed by the European Union's European Regional Development Fund through the INTERREG IVA cross border programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body.
The European Union's INTERREG IVA programme is designed to support cross border co-operation, social cohesion and economic development between regions of the EU. The Northern Ireland/Ireland programme is managed by the Special EU Programmes Body and covers all of Northern Ireland and the six border counties. It aims to address the economic and social disadvantage that can result from the existence of a border.
