Increasing the capacity of the municipal administration Sarnitsa for development and implementation of social innovations for social inclusion of vulnerable groups

The project proposal is aimed at increasing the capacity and effectiveness of the employees of the key relevant stakeholder - the municipal administration of Sarnitsa municipality, to identify, adapt and implement social innovations for inclusion of vulnerable groups. The introduction of social innovations is necessitated by the fact that the municipal administration does not, at present, have sufficient capacity for the identification and implementation of new models and practices in social services, and also because the provided social services for vulnerable groups are ineffective in terms of the potential for social inclusion. Within the project will be implemented activities to explore the potential for social innovations and practical training for prototyping and implementation of two already identified social innovations for inclusion through employment of long-term unemployed people. It is envisaged also to establish local, regional and international partnerships for consultation, exchange of experience and best practices. As a result of the project will be built sustainable capacity of the competent officials of the municipal administration to identify, adapt and implement social innovations for inclusion of vulnerable groups as well as practical experience in their implementation, which will be applicable in other regions, as well as for other target groups.
