Horizontal themes

Project coherence with horizontal themes

Equal opportunities and non-discrimination
The partner organizations are by their status promoters of the equal opportunities and non-discrimination. Both organisations have code of ethics that promotes this principle and supports it at all administrative levels.
The project will also comply with this principle in its implementation, both in the management as in the activities organized with the target group.

This horizontal principle will also be promoted in the project in relation to the 1280 persons from the target group during the trainings that will take place in A8-A9, by delivering a specific 45 min session on the horizontal principles of equal opportunities, gender equality and sustainable development.
This activity is thus expected also to impact indirectly in relation with the 665.367 recipients of social benefits (Jan 2016 data) only in the 7 border counties of Romania and 145 social service providers from the same area.
During the procurement procedures, express mentions will be made to all contractors regarding compliance the equal opportunities principles.

Equality between men and women
Similarly, project partners are not only supporters of the equality between men and women principle, but are their promoters at social level.
This principle will be approached too during the dedicated special 45 min session on horizontal principles with participants in training courses organized under A8-A9.

Sustainable development
This principle will be addressed in the project from several perspectives.
From the economic point of view, partners will procure modern and efficient equipment that will ensure low operating costs, both during and after the project.
From the social perspective, the project encourages cooperation between people and institutions, mutual knowledge and action, which is an element of social development.
From the environment perspective, project actions will not impact in any way on the environment. Where it will be the case (eg. procurin vehicles), partners will chose maximum of environment friendly technologies.
In relation to the target group, this principle will be approached too during the dedicated special 45 min session on horizontal principles with participants in training courses organized under A8-A9.
Also, during the procurement procedures, express mentions will be made to all contractors regarding compliance the sustainable development principles.
