The European Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (‘EaSI’) 2014-2020 is a financing instrument managed directly by the European Commission (EC) to promote high-quality and sustainable employment, adequate and decent social protection, social inclusion and poverty reduction and prevention, and fair working conditions. Following the proclamation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, which sets out guidelines for the support of fair and well-functioning labour markets and welfare systems, the EaSI programme is an essential tool in assisting the Commission to reinforce the EU’s social dimension. Making the European Pillar of Social Rights a reality for citizens is a joint responsibility. While most of the tools to deliver on the pillar are in the hands of Member States, as well as social partners and civil society, the European Union institutions – and the European Commission in particular – can help by setting the framework and giving the direction, using instruments such as EaSI. Among other initiatives, EaSI co-finances actions of public, private and civil society organisations enabling them to deliver new services, assess existing policies or develop new ones, and exchange good practices in the fields of employment, social protection, working conditions, geographical labour mobility, microfinance and social entrepreneurship. To facilitate the dissemination of the achieved results, this report presents examples of 22 projects supported by the Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI). The aims of the presented projects ranged from supporting reforms of national social protection systems, enhancing administrative cooperation on posting of workers, raising awareness on how young people can benefit from the Youth Guarantee to boosting the social finance market and promoting intra-EU geographical mobility. Another main part of the report presents the results of 14 EaSI-supported organisations active in the promotion of social inclusion, poverty reduction and access to finance. The presented organisations aimed to support the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, as well as Commission initiatives carried out towards policy objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy, the Social Investment Package and the Political Guidelines of the Commission at both national and local level. In addition, they contributed to the main EU governance processes such as the Open Method of Coordination (OMC) on social protection and social inclusion and the European Semester. The report also includes a description of the methodology that was applied to collect information on the presented actions and to analyse their results. The report also seeks to emphasise the European added value of the described actions and to single out potential good practices. We believe that this report will be beneficial in two major ways. First, it will serve as guidance for public and private institutions and civil society organisations wishing to apply for EU funding. Second, it will provide policymakers with innovative ideas to design and implement new policy interventions to boost employment and ensure adequate social protection across the EU.
