The Community Services Programme, or CSP, supports more than 400 community organisations, to provide local services through a social enterprise model with funding provided as a contribution to the cost of an agreed number of full-time equivalent positions (FTEs) and a manager, where warranted.
In 2019, Indecon International Economic Consultants were commissioned by my Department to carry out an independent review of the Programme which has been completed. The final report has been received by my Department and is under currently under consideration. I expect to publish the report in the coming weeks.
