Rural Needs Act (NI) 2016 - Annual Monitoring Report
The Rural Needs Impact Assessment is a process by which policies, strategies, plans and the delivery of services are considered, to ensure that public authorities appropriately take account of the needs of the rural community (social and economic needs). Under the Rural Needs Act (Northern Ireland) 2016, public authorities are responsible for monitoring and reporting on how they have complied with the consideration of rural needs and on the co-operation and sharing of information with other public authorities.
