New ESF programme

Tribal is very aware of the new ESF programme (2007–13), which will build on and develop the co-financing system introduced in 2000–2006. With a budget of €6,049m, the project will contribute to sustainable economic growth and social inclusion and add value to the Lisbon National Reform Programme.

Within a single ESF programme for England, there are two main priorities: extending employment opportunities; and developing a skilled and adaptable workforce. Regional Skills Partnerships will play a leading role in developing regional ESF strategies that will determine regional priorities for funding. It is expected that the first funding rounds under the 2007–2013 programme will be held in autumn 2007 and that project activity will start in early 2008.
