This document sets out the vision for mainstreaming gender equality and equal opportunities in the England and Gibraltar ESFi programme during 2007-2013. It describes the action that will be taken to help ensure that equal opportunities are integrated into all aspects of the programme. This plan aims to build upon best practice from the 2000-2006 programme whilst introducing some new approaches to mainstreaming. A key part of the plan is the need to develop the knowledge capacity of partners to help them understand what they have to do to help mainstream equal opportunities in their work.
The plan also gives a commitment to launch a new award scheme to reward partners who have ‘gone the extra mile’ in promoting equal opportunities in England and Gibraltar.
