Community Impact Programme
The Community Development Department since its inception has been responsible for the training and developing of a wide range of skills within communities across Barbados. These skill training programmes were revised in 2009 and named The Community Impact Programme (CIP). The CIP offers a range of training and income generating activities as well as some children’s clubs and recreational activities.
These activities, hosted at community and resource centres across the island, continue to be demand driven and are consequently oversubscribed with significant unmet demand in many communities.
