This report explores how prepared the Community, Voluntary, and Social Enterprise (CVSE) sector is to adopt and lead Community Wealth Building (CWB) strategies across Northern Ireland. Authored by Elisha McCallion, the research provides a timely and practical assessment of the sector’s capacity, challenges, and opportunities in aligning with CWB principles. It contributes valuable insight into how local anchor institutions, policy frameworks, and community actors can work together to deliver inclusive economic change. This publication supports DTNI’s ongoing work to embed CWB across the region, and is a key resource for organisations seeking to understand their role in building local, democratic economies.
