Within the Social Inclusion, Child Guarantee and Fight against Poverty Program, Fundación MAPFRE will manage 30 million euros (20 million from the ESF+ and an additional 10 million from its own resources) in grants awarded through free competition calls aimed at revitalizing rural areas and so-called “empty Spain”, environments that account for almost 8 million people and 85% of Spain’s territory.
The actions to be carried out must contribute to:
- Promoting social and labor inclusion.
- Improving equality and opportunities for access to quality, sustainable and affordable services.
- Promoting people-centered care and boosting social protection, with special emphasis on disadvantaged groups.
- Improving accessibility for people with disabilities, as well as the effectiveness and resilience of healthcare systems and long-term care services.
All this while ensuring equality, non-discrimination and sustainability.
