Scaling Plans
The ESCF has provided financial and non-financial support for 7 proven innovations to plan how they can scale in a total of 16 countries. The scaling plans concern innovations representing proven ways to cost-effectively tackle a range of issues that align with the Sustainable Development Goals and align with the three main categories of the European Pillar of Social Rights: equal opportunities and access to the labour market; fair working conditions, social protection and inclusion; and with ecological and social transition. Issues that are the focus of these plans include:
-
Social housing
-
Employment of refugees
-
Social isolation and frailty amongst elderly people that leads to increased hospitalisation and residential care
-
Alternatives to detention for migrants
-
Employment for people with severe and enduring mental health difficulties
-
Energy poverty
-
Digital inclusion
Scaling Plans Developed
