SOME DATA ON THE “ART.18” PROGRAMS<br />
According to art. 18 <strong>of</strong> the Legislative Decree n. 286 <strong>of</strong> 1998, the Department for Equal<br />
Opportunities every year issues calls for proposals within this field. From 2000 to 2010, a total <strong>of</strong><br />
613 projects, distributed in all the Italian regions, were co-funded by the Department.<br />
From 2000 to 2008 the number <strong>of</strong> persons who came into contact with the projects and received<br />
some form <strong>of</strong> assistance and support was around 60.000. Naturally, not all these persons were able,<br />
or chose, to enrol in programmes <strong>of</strong> social protection, but, in any case, all received initial help<br />
consisting in most case in “assisted accompaniment” to health facilities or were provided with legal<br />
and/or psychological counselling.<br />
The number <strong>of</strong> persons who actually enrolled and participated in the projects was 14.689, out <strong>of</strong><br />
them 986 were minors. A good percentage <strong>of</strong> these persons received training and around half were<br />
able to find employment (Table N.1).<br />
