The local development and social inclusion programme, LDSIP, aims to counter disadvantage and to promote equality and social and economic inclusion through the provision of funding and support to local partnerships. It is administered by Pobal, formerly known as Area Development Management Ltd, on behalf of my Department and is funded through the National Development Plan 2000-06.
It is delivered locally by 38 partnerships, 31 community partnerships and two employment pacts in their designated areas, under three measures: services to the unemployed; community development; community based youth initiatives. One partnership company and 13 community partnerships deliver LDSIP in counties Cork, Tipperary and Meath. The list of the 14 partnerships and their funding for the period 2002-05 is set out in the table.
