Answer
Intermediary Funding Bodies will not be used to implement the Social Investment Fund (SIF).
SIF funding has been awarded to 33 projects managed by either a lead partner or project promoter, who will, depending on the type of project, tender for either design teams or delivery agents. These teams/agents will be paid directly by the project and not the Department.
