About ESF - Technical Assistance
In the programmes for 2000-2006, ESF Technical Assistance is available for certain activities related to managing and promoting ESF.
You should consult the Government Office for your region about Objective 1, Objective 2 and Objective 3 Technical Assistance.
The Objective 3 Operational Programme sets out a number of activities for which Technical Assistance is available. These fall under one of two measures:
- Measure 1: Activities to support the effective delivery of the programme. These include administration, communication and representation.
- Measure 2: Other activities. These include publicity and promotional activities, research into the local labour market and evaluation.
Technical Assistance applications are subject to the same rules as any other ESF application. Match funding is required and the ESF intervention is usually no more than 45%. This means that you must find 55% of the funding from other sources. You can find guidance on match funding in the ESF Applicants guide.
