Complementarity with European Union Programmes

Looking for synergies: main EU programmes with which EUROsociAL works

One of the pillars of the international agenda of the effectiveness of aid is complementarity. It is a guiding principle of the EU cooperation, included in the Code of Conduct on Complementarity and Division of Labour in the Development Policy adopted in 2007. The European Commission defines complementarity as the optimal division of labour between different stakeholders in order to make the best possible use of the human and economic resources. In this regard, EUROsociAL has among its principles of action the collaboration and creation of synergies with the programmes and institutions whose objectives converge with or complement the working lines of the Programme in the different countries, particularly with the European Union programmes. The Programme works with many different lines, whose objectives converge with and complement initiatives addressed by the European Union in certain countries. Mainly, shared challenges in Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Honduras, El Salvador and Uruguay are addressed.
