Inishowen Development Partnership

Inishowen Development Partnership (IDP) is a community-led development organisation that has been driving rural development and social inclusion programmes across Inishowen, County Donegal, since 1996. By offering tailored support and mentoring, IDP helps individuals, community groups and local businesses to grow, innovate and thrive in the region.

The partnership's core specialisations include Business & Enterprise development, assistance with Defective Concrete Blocks, Environment & Climate Change Action, and broader Rural Development initiatives. Through these services IDP not only strengthens the local economy but also champions sustainability and resilience, ensuring that Inishowen's people and places are empowered for the future.

Beyond its programme work, IDP actively engages the community with events such as job fairs, pre-Christmas community kitchens and Fairtrade recognitions, while also promoting new projects like the HARC initiative. Its collaborative, inclusive approach makes it a pivotal catalyst for progress throughout the Inishowen peninsula.
