The Community Initiatives are based on guidelines drawn up by the European Commission and prepared in consultation with a Regional Policy Committee that consists of senior civil servants nominated by the Member States.

On the basis of these guidelines, the appointed Managing Authority for each Community Initiative in each Member State draws up an Operational Programme (O.P.) for each Initiative.

Ireland will receive 1.5% of the total E.U. budget for Community Initiatives for the 2000- 2006 period - this amounts to €176 million.
