European Social Fund (ESF)
The East of England has been awarded an allocation of £174 million for the period 2007-13 as part of the new England and Gibraltar European Social Fund (ESF) programme.
Although this is a considerable reduction in funding from the previous ESF Objective 3 programme's regional allocation (2000-06) of £239 million, the number of priorities has also been reduced from five to two, which means that the new programme will be better focused with more flexibility to meet regional needs.
The EEDA is one of five Co-Financing Organisations (CFOs) in the East of England region for the new programme 2007-13. The other CFOs are the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), Bedfordshire County Council and Luton Borough Council.
EEDA's Co-financing Plan, which was formally approved in December 2007 by the region's European Programmes Strategy Group, contains an ESF allocation of £7.4 million for the initial programme period 2008-11. During that time, EEDA's programme will fund projects which address the employment and skills challenges in the East of England, focusing on extending employment opportunities to those not in work and developing a skilled and adaptable workforce for the needs of the region's businesses.
The first phase of tendering has now been completed and EEDA is pleased to announce the award of its co-financed interventions to the following organisations:
