The Equality Commission has set out key recommendations to inform the development and delivery of the 2016-19 Programme for Government (PfG) and Budget of the NI Executive.
We have called on the Executive to ensure that:
-
there is a clear commitment in the PfG, underpinned by the inclusion of robust, outcome focused action measures, to addressing key inequalities experienced by the Section 75 equality groups, as well as to promoting good relations;
-
promoting equality of opportunity and good relations are cross-cutting themes across all Government strategies, policy development and actions - including the PfG;
-
all relevant PfG measures are not only tracked in aggregate but also for the impact on individuals from each of the Section 75 grounds.
