The Local Development Social Inclusion Programme (LDSIP) is a series of measures that are designed to counter disadvantage and to promote equality and social and economic inclusion. The LDSIP is managed by Pobal (formerly ADM) on behalf of the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. It is funded by the National Development Plan 2000-2006. Under the LDSIP, Partnership groups such as MFG-Meitheal Mhuscrai have flexibility to prepare local development plans that respond to local economic and social needs. While actions funded by the LDSIP involve integrated responses to the multi-dimensional nature of social exclusion, they are grouped into three areas of activity:
Services for the unemployed
Community development
Community-based youth initiatives
