The Clare Local Community Development Committee has been selected to support engagement with marginalised communities in planning and decision making processes.
Clare’s one of just four groups across the country earmarked for the pilot scheme, along with entities in Fingal, Galway City and Wicklow.
The project aims to develop tool kits that can be adapted and used by local authorities, including Clare County Council, and other state agencies to enable better engagement with ‘hard to reach’ groups.
It’ll be rolled out by Clare’s Local Community Development Commitee in collaboration with Clare PPN, Limerick Clare Education and Training Board (LCETB) and Clare Local Development Company (CLDC).
The Department of Rural and Community Development is providing up to €40,000 to the Clare Local Community Development Committee for the scheme.
