(23 January 2018) – The EU’s financing programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) will receive an additional €100 million for its Guarantee scheme from the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), the core of the Investment Plan for Europe.
The financial support comes on top of the original EaSI Guarantee instrument worth €96 million, for a combined overall investment of €196 million.
In order to continue to highlight the need for investment in social infrastructure, a High-Level Task Force on “Investing in social infrastructure in Europe” was set up in January 2017 on the initiative of the European Association of Long Term Investors.
