The Secretary General of Inclusion visits three pilot projects in the Balearic Islands involving 1,000 vulnerable people

These inclusion itineraries are implemented in the islands in collaboration with third sector entities, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, with an estimated investment of 1.8 million euros.

The Secretary General of Objectives and Policies of Inclusion and Social Security, Milagros Paniagua, visited the Balearic Islands on March 27 and 28 to get to know first-hand some of the pilot projects linked to the Minimum Vital Income that are being developed in that territory.

These inclusion itineraries are implemented in the islands in collaboration with third sector entities, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, with an estimated investment of 1.8 million euros.

Among them, Milagros Paniagua has visited the Acceda Program, in Manacor, which implements Caritas to address the specific problems of households in situations of poverty and homeless people. In particular, they meet their basic needs, facilitating accompaniment and access to social aid, and developing their social, digital and work skills to help them overcome obstacles to access to social and employment services and sharing community spaces that promote their social integration.

This pilot, who works in Mallorca (Llucmajor and Manacor) and Menorca (Maó, Ciutadella, Ferreries and Sant Lluis), will benefit 364 people, mostly women - among participants and their families.

Paniagua also held a meeting with the Board of Directors of EAPN-Baleares to learn about the work of the project on Non Take-Up, a pilot that is developed throughout Spain to mobilize potential beneficiaries of the IMV to apply for the benefit. Almost 340 people participate in the Balearic Islands.

In Menorca (Maó), the general secretary attended today the business meeting "EmploymentLab Project", organized by the Confederation of Business Associations of the Balearic Islands CAEB, together with Caritas and CEOE Foundation. In this forum, Paniagua informed the Balearic business community about the characteristics of this pilot of intensive work placement routes and urged them to join the project, thus strengthening their commitment to the most vulnerable people. About 282 people are involved in this project. The Ministry of Inclusion recognizes this collaboration of the private initiative through the Social Inclusion Seal.

These projects are part of the 34 itineraries of socio-labor inclusion that the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration is developing within the framework of the PRTR. After evaluation, the results of these projects will allow the best practices to be scaled up to reduce the vulnerability of the most disadvantaged groups.
