Abstract

As an innovative and exceptional initiative within the European Union, Fundacion ONCE has been one of the Intermediate Bodies of the Spanish ESF Operational Programme “Fight Against Discrimination”, both in the financial period 2000-2006, as well as from 2007 to 2013. Thanks to this partnership, with an inversion of 400 million euros, of which the European Social Fund has contributed about 70%, about 55,000 persons with disabilities have signed a work contract, and almost 220,000 have seen their employability improved. The goal is to reinforce this alliance in the new programming period 2014-2020, in order to contribute to the construction and strengthening of a better Europe for all people.
