Chwarae
Teg’s work
with the European Structural Funds
Chwarae Teg is actively involved with the development
of European Union Structural Funds and Community Initiatives
in Wales by
ensuring that equality remains top of the agenda.
Working
in partnership with other leading equality agencies and European
Programme officers in Wales we hold regular meetings
of the European Equality Partnership, which lobbies for good
equality practice in the Structural Funds.
The major functions
of this partnership are:
- To influence the development
of the equality content of Programme documents
- To sit as advisors on Programme Monitoring Committees
/ Management Boards
- To initiate gender balance on the European Funds
Committees
Our work has
been recognised as exemplary by the European Commission and the INTERREG
document is now being circulated
to the accession countries. To view the Programme documents,
plus those for INTERREG and EQUAL please go to the WEFO website. Chwarae Teg’s other work in this field
has included
- Training the Welsh European Funding Office
assessors, local authority European and equality officers,
and voluntary
sector
European advisers.
- Writing two sets of equality guidelines,
which explain how projects should tackle equality mainstreaming
in relation
to the Structural Funds and illustrating how assessors and
applicants should consider the equality input in applications.

- Working closely
with the NDP Gender Unit of the Dept of Justice, Ireland
both to support training and to encourage
good practice.
- Managing an e network for European
Structural Funds equality experts and practioners across
