The National Collective of Community based Women's Networks (NCCWN) consists of 17 women's groups located in various parts of the country, and is involved broadly in activation and outreach for disadvantaged women. The Department of Justice and Equality has funded the NCCWN since 2016. Prior to this, funding was provided by the Department of the Environment. Since 2016, my Department has provided funding of over €6,362,028 to the NCCWN.

This funding is towards salaries, administration and overhead costs incurred in the implementation of the activities set out in the agreed Women's Equality and Development Programme, NCCWN Support Scheme to Enhance the Inclusion of Women in Communities 2019, in line with the objectives contained in the National Strategy for Women and Girls 2017-2020.
