Notas do Editor
- Introduce self, role, Define ESIF Purpose – few words about where D2N2 is with its ESIF work, the next steps and particularly the D2N2 ESIF Local Implementation Plan consultation document that you have in your papers.
- So, what are European Structural and Investment Funds, what are they worth in our area and what is our role as a LEP. In 2013, Government asked each of the 39 LEPs to draw up a six year strategy for spending a notional allocation of ESIF funds. The D2N2 allocation was one of the largest in the country as was made up of Making a total of £244m Euros. The strategy has been through 3 iterations between October 2013 and June 2014. It is a strategy for the whole LEP area. However, we now need to very much need to move towards and focus on implementation. Having led the preparation of the Strategy the ongoing role of the LEP is to bring a range of partners together to advise on its effective implementation. Put a strategy together then Advise the Managing Authority which bids fit with that strategy The ‘ESIF’ Strategy is provides ‘fuel in the tank’ to help deliver our strategic economic plan, Key differences between the LGF and ESIF is that whilst LGF funds will be devolved to an ‘accountable body’ in the D2N2 area, the ESIF funds will be held by Government and our role will be give endorsement to the projects that we will wish to see funded.

- ESIF ‘fuel in the tank’ for delivering the Strategic Economic Plan
- So, what are European Structural and Investment Funds, what are they worth in our area and what is our role as a LEP. In 2013, Government asked each of the 39 LEPs to draw up a six year strategy for spending a notional allocation of ESIF funds. The D2N2 allocation was one of the largest in the country as was made up of Making a total of £244m Euros. The strategy has been through 3 iterations between October 2013 and June 2014. It is a strategy for the whole LEP area. However, we now need to very much need to move towards and focus on implementation. Describe balance of spend between priority axis – show variety of acitivity
- However we can’t begin to spend our ESIF funds until the Government has agreed its Operational Programmes with the European Commission. In preparation for this, we’ve consulted on a detailed draft Implementation Plan so that we have a comprehensive programme and timetable of calls and op-activity ready to implement, when we are allowed to do so. The draft plan has been refined through the consultation process and built on learning from past programmes too. The purpose of ESIF funds is to be fuel in the tank for delivering the Strategic Economic Plan; therefore the Consultation Document, therefore the Draft Local Implementation Plan, is structured around the themes of the SEP Our programme with be delivered by a range of ‘calls’ and opt ins . Through calls in which we specify the activities that we want to see delivered and through an open invitation, organisations can bid to provide 50% ‘match funds. Those bids would be assessed against compliance with EU regulations by Government and the ESIF programme board would advise which bids which it considers best deliver the strategy. The second approach is to be more specific about what we want to see delivered through commissioning ‘opt in’ organisations that have matched our ESIF funds ‘at source’. Through opt ins we will be looking for tenders to deliver a defined service. . The ‘Opt-in’ model now only applies to ESF funding and, through extensive consultation with officers; the consultation document suggests a range of programmes to be implemented thorough opt-ins with the Big Lottery, the Skills Funding Agency and DWP. It is designed to offer an integrated programme that adds value to existing delivery and supports people to move closer to, into and up in the labour market. Our approach to is provide for fewer larger calls to encourage joined up applications of scale and impact
- The EU regional policy is financed by three main funds, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), both referred to as “Structural Funds” and the Cohesion Fund (CF). These funds are based on the principles of co-financing and shared management. EU financial support always runs alongside national public or private financing. Depending on a number of socioeconomic factors, the co-financing may vary between 50% and 85% of the total cost of interventions. The guidelines for ERDF and ESF actions are designed at European level, whereas implementation on the ground is managed by the relevant national or regional authorities in each Member State.
- No Stone Unturned’ published October 2012 Government response March 2013 – 81 out of 89 recommendations accepted, 5 rejected, 3 in SR Increasing Whitehall asks of / offers to LEPs - and increasing focus on their performance Single Local Growth Fund from 2015 LEPs to develop multi year strategic plans Funding to be allocated though Local Growth Deals LEPs to take greater role in EU funding distribution Support LEP capacity Majority of funds notionally allocated to LEP areas –Each LEP will lead the development EUSIF investment strategy –Plan must be strategic, supported by strong evidence base –LEPs must collaborate in order to maximise impact –LEPs must identify local sources of match funding
- How will calls be assessed? Government will do technical compliance LEP will look at strategic fit, including adherence to our ‘core delivery principles’
- Build on lessons learnt from partners delivering in the City – develop and strengthen effective pathways
- Issues Gang membership and violent crime - Despite significant recent reductions Nottinghamshire still has above average levels of crime, being ranked 30th (out of 41) in terms of offences per 1,000 population, 6.4% (4,466 offences) above the national average. Nottingham has made huge strides in recent years in reducing crime, anti-social behaviour and the misuse of drugs. Part of the success in reducing crime, anti-social behaviour and misuse of drugs has been as a result of a broad partnership of statutory and non-statutory agencies coming together. Local experience demonstrates that a key factor in getting young people to exit this life style is access to employment. Many of these young people find it difficult to secure and sustain longer term employment, having no belief that it is within their reach. Lone parents – 1,570 16 – 24 year olds in Nottingham are claiming income support, making up 22% of all IS claimants. The proportion is higher in particular wards within Nottingham City, particularly Bulwell (29%), Basford (28%), Aspley (26%) and Bestwood (25%). At 16 – 18, teenage mothers are more likely to be NEET than the rest of the cohort – 66% of teenage mothers are currently NEET (around 30 young people). Care leavers – at 16 – 18, young people leaving care are more likely to be NEET than the rest of the cohort – 46% of care leavers are currently NEET (around 45 young people). Young carers – 14% of residents receiving Carers Allowance are aged 16 – 29, significantly higher than the national average of 11%. Performance data to December 2012, not including Surrey (data not available) and City of London (not comparable)
- Activities to address challenges: Supply side issues - support creation of opportunities for young people with additional barriers to access apprenticeships and employment Boost traineeship take up through additional support Build on Apprenticeship growth – engage YP and SMEs, and support to succeed Raising aspirations and encouraging entrepreneurship Reach out to excluded and disengaged through communities and partnership approach
