Background: Healthy Cities: The Healthy Cities project is a global World Health Organisation (WHO) movement, set up in 1986. It involves Local Authorities working to improve health and wellbeing through political commitment, working in partnership with local stakeholders and supporting innovative projects. A healthy city or a healthy county works to: • improve health and wellbeing by creating and continually improving its physical and social environments • develop community resources that help people to support each other and achieve their potential Accredited to the World Health Organisation, the National Healthy Cities and Counties of Ireland Network (the Network) was launched in November 2016. The aim of the National Healthy Cities and Counties of Ireland Network is to develop a structure to support Local Authorities to implement the Healthy Ireland Framework. National Healthy Cities and Counties of Ireland Network aims to: • promote lifelong health and wellbeing, • provide a means where local issues can influence national policy, and • provide a voice for Ireland in the WHO Network of European National Healthy Cities Networks. The Network is a key enabler of the Healthy Cities initiative both locally and nationally. All Local Authorities are either a member of the Network or are in the process of becoming a member. Healthy Ireland: Healthy Ireland is a Government funded initiative and is the national strategy aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of everyone living in Ireland.

The purpose of the fund is to support Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) in delivering actions which will improve health and wellbeing, in line with Healthy Ireland, A Framework for Improved Health and Wellbeing 2013 – 2025. This Framework is the national framework for action to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Ireland. The Framework aims to bring a concerted focus on life-long wellbeing, prevention of illness, seeks to reduce health inequalities, address the settings in which health and wellbeing is impacted, and emphasises the need to empower people and communities to better look after their own health and wellbeing.
