Programme for Government 2008-2011

The Programme for Government (PFG) sets the strategic context for both the Budget and the Investment Strategy for Northern Ireland.

About the Programme for Government  2008-2011

The Executive’s over-arching aim is to build a peaceful, fair and prosperous society. To ensure that Government is clearly focused on achieving that aim, the Executive has set out in the Programme for Government five key strategic and interdependent priorities as follows:

  • growing a dynamic, innovative economy
  • promote tolerance, inclusion and health and well-being
  • protect and enhance our environment and natural resources
  • invest to build our infrastructure
  • deliver modern high quality and efficient public services

The Programme for Government highlights the key goals and actions the Executive will take to drive forward the priority areas. It includes a detailed Public Service Agreement Framework which sets out the actions and targets departments will take in support of the Executive’s priorities.

The following addendum to the Programme for Government sets out the priorities for the Department of Justice (DOJ).

In line with the remaining period of the current Programme for Government it focuses on the current financial year, but sets out the foundation for an agenda for change which will impact into the longer-term.
