NOrth west inner city network NWICN

NWICAN is a forum of community and voluntary social inclusion groups, which actively seeks to enhance the quality of life for all in the community by campaigning and lobbying to challenge poverty, prejudice and discrimination.

NWICAN provides a forum to facilitate a collective and coordinated response to influence policy on issues that affect the community with a clear focus on disadvantage and social exclusion. The key role of the network is to:

• Identify community needs
• Plan an integrated and coordinated response to these needs
• Oversee the implementation of these responses

MACRO CDP

Established in 1995, MACRO is a Community Development Project operating in the Markets area of Dublin's north west inner city. MACRO facilitates the development of a collective response to the needs of its community and works from the principles of participation, shared decision making, empowerment and change.The aims of MACRO are to:

1. Raise community awareness, identify local needs and build a community response in the markets area
2. Create a resource to assist the development of groups and individuals in the area
3. Create links with local authority, state agencies, local developers and businesses
4. Guarantee a coordinated, integrated approach to developments in the Markets area.

MACRO aims to achieve this through collaboration with other voluntary, statutory and community organisations.

An Síol CDP

Established in 1991 An Síol Community Development Programme was set up to address the multidimensional social and economic needs in the Stoneybatter district of Dublin's north west inner city. An Síol's mission is to provide an inclusive community development process and work to redress inequality and power imbalances that cause social and economic exclusion. Key aims of An Síol are to:

• Determine and clarify the current level of need and activity within their area
• Provide developmental support to existing groups and committees within this area
• Facilitate the emergence and development of new groups
• Support the capacity of local people to participate in the decision making which affects the development of their area.

North West Inner City Women's Network

NWICWN aims to provide a forum for women experiencing exclusion to come together to identify issues which affect their lives and plan collaborative responses to them. Many of the activities of the network are aimed at reducing isolation and building confidence and the skills of local women to participate more assertively in the discussions that affect their lives and the lives of their families. In particular, the network will develop coordinated responses to women living on low-incomes, homeless, vulnerable women, immigrants and women experiencing abuse and sexual violence or forced to work in abusive, humiliating or oppressive circumstances.
