Background
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is a three year £2.6 billion UK-wide fund launched in April 2022 as a domestic replacement to the EU Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF). It is a core component of the UK Government’s Levelling Up agenda.
Dundee City Council has been allocated £5,608,964 to invest in local projects until March 2025. This is broken down into £4.6m for core UKSPF funding, and £968,616 for Multiply, the national adult numeracy programme. The core funding will be targeted at three main investment areas:
- Communities and Place
- Supporting Local Business
- People and Skills
An Investment Plan was submitted to the UK Government on 1 August 2022 setting out a vision for the interventions which would be prioritised for support from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. It was approved in December 2022.
