• decentralised approach, variable composition of intermediary bodies according
to the abilities of local actors (as representatives, for the creation of networks,
for the activation of the areas, the identification of needs, etc.).
Relationship between local public institutions/authorities and the third sector
• favourable and continuous cooperation of third sector organisations and public
institutions
• comprehensive undertaking of responsibility through the intermediary bodies
(horizontal subsidiarity)
• systematic involvement of target-group specific services
• support for participative model in the planning and implementation of
measures
• New intervention model
• intermediary body as mediator, facilitator and motivator
• creation of incentive for persons from the target groups to enter third sector
cooperatives and/or organisations (the results however remain below
expectations)
• accompaniment and support for cooperatives and organisations through a
representative of the intermediary body
Characteristics of implemented projects
• implementation of medium-term projects (with the aim of personnel
development)
• “social” vision as impetus for local development and not purely cost factor
• joint development of projects with the aid of technical support from
intermediary bodies
• support of specially tailored projects accommodating the competences and
qualities of disadvantaged persons and not conversely the necessity for
adaptation on the part of the persons to already existing organisational and
work structures
In conclusion, the positive effects and potential points of criticism which emerged from
the study can be summarised in a SWOT analysis. This analysis (see table) contains an
evaluation of the efficiency, tenability and transferability of the global subsidy instrument.
