Local Community and Development Programme

(LCDP)

The LCDP is the core programme of Monaghan Integrated Development. Its aim is to tackle poverty and social exclusion through partnership and constructive engagement between Government and its’ agencies and people in disadvantaged communities.  Through LCDP the company accesses other important sources of funding to target social, personal, community and economic development. The result is a wide range of programmes which work to make a positive and lasting difference in people’s lives.

The LCDP is underpinned by four high-level goals which are to:
