The Partnership Panel was established by the Executive in 2014. The Panel consists of all Executive Ministers, a councillor from each of the 11 district councils and the 5 NILGA office bearers.
The Panel provides a fresh, new political relationship between central and local government and creates opportunities for innovative working between Ministers and councillors, which will ultimately improve co-ordination between central government departments and councils to help deliver better outcomes for local people.
The Panel's Terms of Reference require the publication of its minutes on the Department's website.
