ESF mainstreaming plans updated and progress reports published

The ESF Gender Equality and Equal Opportunities mainstreaming plan, which describes measures to increase the ESF programme’s female participation rate to 51 per cent for the second half of the programme, has been updated on the ESF website. A 2012 progress report on the plan has been published, and a report from the ESF Gender Equality workshop held in November 2012 has also been added.

ESF has also published an updated Sustainable Development mainstreaming plan, along with a progress report for 2012. The report details the good progress that has been made in mainstreaming sustainable development, and looks at how best to mainstream sustainable development in the new 2014-2020 programme.
