The Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP), is our country’s primary social inclusion intervention. It is delivered in both rural and urban areas by Local Development Companies (LDCs) and aims to address high and persistent levels of deprivation through targeted and innovative, locally-led approaches. SICAP workers have extensive local connections and in-depth knowledge of available resources and supports in their area and work to ensure the emerging needs of their locality are responded to.
19 LDCs mention sexual, domestic or gender-based abuse and/or violence in the descriptions in their action plans in 2021-2022. The table below outlines the LDCs and the number of relevant actions per year.
