The Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP) 2018 – 2022 aims to reduce poverty and promote social inclusion and equality by supporting communities and individuals using community development approaches, engagement and collaboration.

The funding made available for SICAP for 2021 is €39,168,430. An additional 5% funding would see the the allocation increase to €41,126,851.
