What activity can be funded by Urban II?

 
Urban II funding is available for both Revenue and Capital projects that target specific Outputs within defined Priorities and Measures.
 
Funding has been allocated to three priorities, each of which contains two measures.  A number of outputs have been identified for each measure, through which the Programme aims to achieve defined impacts.
 
To be eligible for funding, a project must target one or more outputs, and contribute to achieving the required impact.
