Thematic Focus Areas:
SICAP is a targeted, holistic programme, for those who are most disadvantaged and less likely to access mainstream services, which provides supports directly to beneficiaries and links them into existing services. Programme Implementers (PIs) engage with marginalised communities and service providers using a community development approach to address issues relating to social exclusion and inequality.
SICAP also prioritises local engagement and partnerships, between Cork City Partnership, disadvantaged individuals, community organisations and public sector agencies.
The programme structure is set by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht.
