Local Development Companies (LDCs) implement a range of programmes on behalf of a number of Government Departments.

In relation to my Department, LDCs are involved in the delivery of the Social Inclusion Community Activation Programme (SICAP) and the LEADER programme. LDCs are a valued stakeholder and will continue to play a vital role in implementing each of these programmes locally.
