Minister for Rural and Community Development

The Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme 2018-2022 (SICAP) is a €190m, five year national programme, delivered locally to help those in the greatest need. The SICAP vision is to improve the life chances of those who are marginalised in society, living in poverty or unemployed.

The funding allocated is set out in the table. The funding for 2020 onwards is indicative and subject to the budgetary process. It is my intention to secure increased funding for this vital programme from 2020 onwards.
