Under the Community Development programme, multi-annual funding is provided to locally based voluntary and community groups involved in anti-poverty and social inclusion initiatives. Since June 2002 my Department has provided funding of approx €6.8 million to Community Development Projects in County Cork. Details of the funding and the projects involved are shown in the table below.
It is planned that projects will continue to be funded under the new National Development Plan.
