Rural NI: Our New Approach (2026-2041) - Consultation event Cookstown

Rural NI: Our New Approach 2026–2041 is a new Executive-wide policy that aims to understand, champion and support rural communities.

Developed through an intensive co design process involving government departments, local councils, voluntary and community organisations and academic partners, the draft policy places rural voices and lived experiences of rural communities at its core.

We are seeking your views on our consultation documents which outline policy proposals for a new rural policy. The outline proposals will form the basis of our new rural policy Rural NI: Our New Approach 2026-2041.

We welcome your views on these emerging policy proposals and ask that you answer the consultation questions.
