New Programme paves for innovative thinking. The European Commission has put forward a proposal to develop a new instrument - the Programme for Social Change and Innovation (PSCI) - which will support employment and social policies throughout the EU. The Council and the European Parliament are set to discuss the Commission's legislative proposals with a view to adoption by the end of 2012. Approval would see the PSCI up and running in 2014, with a total budget of 958 million EUR for 2014-2020, of which 60% will be allocated to PROGRESS, 15% on EURES and 20% on microfinance. A degree of flexibility has been provided for in the form of a 5% reserve. 

PROGRAMAS DE LA UNION EUROPEA

New EU Programme for Social Change and Innvation The EU Programme for Social Change and Innovation (PSCI) is an instrument to be managed directly by the Commission, in support of employment and social policies across the EU. It is part of the Commission's proposal for the EU regional, employment and social policy for 2014-2020.  

Future Cohesion Policy UE 2014-2020 The European Commission has adopted a draft legislative package which will frame cohesion policy for 2014-2020. The new proposals are designed to reinforce the strategic dimension of the policy and to ensure that EU investment is targeted on Europe's long-term goals for growth and jobs ("Europe 2020").
Through Partnership Contracts agreed with the Commission, Member States will commit to focussing on fewer investment priorities in line with these objectives. The package also harmonises the rules related to different funds, including rural development and maritime and fisheries, to increase the coherence of EU action.

Los estudios abarcan dos países de bajos ingresos (Liberia y Uganda), tres países de ingresos medios-bajos (Egipto, India y Ucrania) y dos países de ingresos medios-altos (Brasil y Sudáfrica).
