Area Development Management Ltd
and the Combat Poverty Agency ADM/CPA) are responsible
for implementing 12 easures of the Peace II
Programme in the 6 southern Border counties
and Northern Ireland.
We have used the services of PSc Management
Consultants to undertake both internal and external
assessments of proposals and all this work has
been done to a high standard.
PSc Management Consultants also undertook on
our behalf, on behalf of our partners Community
Foundation of Northern Ireland and Co-operation
Ireland and on behalf of the Special European
Union Programmes Body a substantial
report on building peace and reconciliation
post-2006.
This splendid report
will be published in book form and will be launched
in Belfast in October 2003. We have every
confidence in PSc Management Consultants
and intend continuing to avail of their considerable
services again.

Under the
Peace II programme, Ballymena
Strategy Partnership has been given
administrative responsibility for Measure 3.1
- Developing The Social Economy in the Ballymena
Borough.
Due to
ambiguity about the social economy and the lack
of local information that we had available we
decided to commission a piece of research. To
this end we appointed PSC Management Consultants
to undertake three key activities:
(A) Map
the sector,
(B) Classify groups and
(C) Produce a continuum of development.
The primary
research was conducted in an organised and professional
manner. The consultant involved had an
obvious understanding
of the client group and managed the sessions
very effectively.
With regard to secondary research the applicability
and quality of information included in the final
report was very good.
We now
have a document, which offers 'food for thought'
about how we can support the development of
the sector and a depth of reference material
about the social economy.
I am happy
to recommend the services of Paul Steele and
his team and willing to discuss their work with
us further should this be required.
