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.
SICAP is managed at a local level by 33 Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs), with support from local authorities; and is delivered by Local Development Companies.
SICAP funding allocations are made based on levels of relative affluence and deprivation in communities, ensuring the programme is targeting disadvantage fairly, to help those individuals in greatest need of the support.
The annual allocations for 2019 to 2021 are outlined below:
