Differences The chief differences primarily exist within the overall institutional and political-structural framework of each programme strategy. In France, a transversal working group is directly based within the prime minister’s department. This group discusses transversal topics such as youth politics independently from the governmental programme. An equivalent strongly institutionalised comprehensive structure can be found in France on a local level in the prefectures. A similar fixed structure within higher-level hierarchical working structures was not reported for Great Britain or Germany. Differing institutional structures which are also anchored in the federal nature of the countries result in differences on a local level concerning the possibilities of involving relevant actors, for example schools. In France and Great Britain, schools can undertake significantly more extensive tasks within the framework of programme implementation than is the case in Germany. A further difference concerns the status of data on the problem areas to be addressed. In France, information has been collected uniformly by the observation authority and is generally accessible, whereas the status of data in Germany and Great Britain is quantitively and qualitatively uneven. Access to the programmes in the three countries also varies. In Germany, the local authorities have to “apply” for participation in the programmes; in France, programme areas are designated. In contrast, all local authorities in Great Britain are obligated to set up a local Children’s Fund as a part of the implementation of the national agenda "Every Child Matters”. Recommendations for action Strengthening of the local level: local authorities need their own individual freedom of action in order to develop local strategies with which central, national and strategic requirements are to be implemented. National standardised systems are necessary for the reporting of problems on a local level. Here it is important to lead a social and political discourse on which criteria/indicators are considered to be essential and how an evaluation can be carried out to avoid the disfunctionality of these instruments. A comprehensive perspective of children and youths and orientation towards social environmental approaches in the programmes and concrete projects is recommended. For this to succeed, this in turn necessitates an institutional backup for transversal cooperation on all political decision-making levels. Educational and integration programmes are recommended as a primary focus. A final recommendation is that exclusive elements (persons or structures) be integrated in the relevant programme aims. 67
Working group 5: Local strategies for activating job creation and social capital in the frame of the ESF instrument of Small Grants Due to the significance of the ESF German programme “Local Capital for Social Purposes” (LOS) governing work within social disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Germany, the working group 5 has focused on this programme and also corresponding programmes in other member states. The common basis of support for these programmes is Article 4 Par. 2 of the ESF Directive 1784/1999 governing the provision of small-scale subsidy payments (Small Grants) for micro-projects aimed at the professional and social integration of disadvantaged persons. The allocation is customarily undertaken by intermediary bodies which are provided with the corresponding funds via global grants. This subsidy instrument was initially tested in the pilot project “Local Social Capital” (1999 to 2002) and was continued during the ESF subsidy period 2000 to 2006 in Germany, Denmark, Finland, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden, Spain and the Czech Republic in the form of individual programmes. Representatives from Germany, England and Italy presented the implementation of this instrument in their countries; similarities and differences were established and recommendations for the further development of this instrument were compiled. Additionally, further "small grants” programmes and accompanying local projects for the professional and social integration of disadvantaged persons from nine European countries were exhibited in a project fair (see Project Fair). Presentation Germany ESF Federal Programme “Local Capital for Social Purposes” (LOS) Claudia Fligge-Hoffjann, German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youths Christoph Schwamborn, coordinating office LOS Petra Meier to Berndt-Seidl, Chief Mayor of Lindau, Germany, and other representatives from the development area Lindau-Zech The programme and its strategic orientation C. Fligge-Hoffjann C. Schwamborn Experience shows that it is small non-governmental organisations and local initiatives with their specially tailored range of services and flexible approach which are particularly suited to targeting persons on the periphery of society and/or with problems within the employment market. For this reason, Germany placed the emphasis in P. Meier to Berndt-Seidl its ESF planning documentation on the 11 “Micro-projects for the encouragement of employability and local social development” for the ESF support period 2000 to 2006, implementing the Article 4 Par. 2 of the ESF Directive 1784/1999. The intention is – according to the programme planning documents – to “enable actors on a local level by 68
