The Community Development Programme is designed to reduce social exclusion by targeting support at disadvantaged and socially excluded communities in order to improve their capacity to benefit from social and economic development. In 2008, funding in the region of €24 million will be provided to meet the staff and overhead costs for over 180 Community Development Projects in disadvantaged areas countrywide.
Details of funding up to and including 2001 are available in the Oireachtas Library for the information of members.
