Cork City’s Local Economic and Community Plan 2024 - 2029
Intersectional Policymaking Oftentimes a person may fall into more than one of the above categories. For example, a person may be an older LGBTI+ Migrant, a single parent with a disabled child living in a RAPID area, a Traveller experiencing addiction and homelessness that also has a disability. So, a person can often be experiencing discrimination and marginalisation on many different fronts. Intersectional policymaking requires active integration in a thorough and comprehensive way. We have aimed to apply an intersectional lens when developing this LECP and have tried to include actions that take into account intersectional marginalisations. How Was The Plan Developed? The process for developing the LECP was set out in the 2021 LECP guidelines 12 and the stages are outlined in Figure 4.2 on the following page. Before we embarked on stage one, we reviewed the outgoing LECP 2016– 2021 entitled ‘Pure Cork’ 13 .
Cork City Council set up an Advisory Group 14 to oversee the process.
A range of stakeholders are involved in the preparation, implementation and evaluation of the plan (see Figure 4.3 on page 25).
