I am informed that in 2004, 1,673 initiatives were supported under the community based youth initiatives sub-measure of the local development social inclusion programme. I understand that these initiatives covered a wide range of activities under the following broad categories: 174 projects providing early childhood education, learning and developmental opportunities; 541 projects aimed at preventing early school leaving; 132 projects addressing the needs of early school leavers; 87 projects supporting access to further and third level education; 463 projects promoting developmental youth work; 161 research, information and dissemination initiatives; and 115 training initiatives for trainers.
