The Deputy will be aware that the Local and Community Development Programme (LCDP) replaced the Local Development Social Inclusion and Community Development Programmes from the beginning of 2010. Funding allocations to partnerships/local development companies under the LCDP are made by Pobal, who manage it on behalf of my Department.
There are currently 52 Local Development Companies (LDCs), 25 of which are integrated LDCs, delivering both rural and local development programmes.
Allocations under the LCDP are based on a number of factors, including: - the size/population of the catchment areas of the LDCs; - the proposed annual programme of activity of each company; - the deprivation index for the catchment areas; and - the available funding for the year.
In addition, the 2010 allocations took account of concentrated levels of urban disadvantage in the catchment areas of urban partnership companies.
Details of the LDCs and their 2010 funding allocation are set out in Appendix 1 below.
As the Deputy will appreciate, ongoing funding for the LCDP in 2011 and beyond will fall to be considered in the context of the annual Estimates process.
