This guide has been designed to provide projects with an easy-to-use manual to help ensure that mainstreaming equal opportunities takes place at each stage of projectd esign and delivery, and to share the extensive experience of mainstreaming equal opportunities in projects funded by the European Structural Funds in Scotland.
The European Commission has made it clear that equal opportunities issues should be integrated into all Programme-funded activity.
Structural Funds have an important role to play in helping to combat the inequalities that exist in society today - not only between women and men, but for people with disabilities, people from minority ethnic groups and others facing discrimination.
