PPR supports groups and residents to participate in urban regeneration schemes to ensure that processes and investment are targeted towards progressing the social and economic rights of marginalised people affected.

The people PPR work with use human rights tools such as Equality Impact Assessments, Freedom of Information requests, public procurement processes, budget analysis, and indicators and benchmarks to monitor and campaign to ensure economic development produces social progress and equality.

PPR has worked on regeneration initiatives with the Girdwood Residents Jury, Lower Shankill Regeneration Board and interface workers across North, South, East and West Belfast.
