Currently, there are 181 Community Development Projects/groups funded under my Department's Community Development Programme. The allocation for the Programme for 2009 is €20.9m. I understand that some projects attract funding from other sources. My Department is currently undertaking a review of these projects and I expect to have the results later this year. In addition, my intention to integrate the Local Development Social Inclusion Programme and the Community Development Programme, in order to provide more efficient and streamlined social inclusion services to those people in the country who need them most, is on record.
