Gender4Growth
Gender4Growth answers 2 background necessities: growth and gender equity. Gender inequalities are today still present in the economy. This provokes two problems: 1) a structural obstacle against growth, because significant share of the population (mainly women) has restrictions to job market access and entrepreneur opportunities, and 2) a source of unacceptable inequalities for a wants-be democratic continent. This has been addressed in a Lisbon goal: 60% women employment in 2010. 
Objectives of Gender4Growth is to update partners economic policies with enough consideration to gender issues. Subgoals will be to identify the appropriate economic policies that integrate full contribution of gender, make them available on adequate supports, initiate their transfer to partners, and develop enough targeted communication so as to provide higher level decision-making influence that will ease adoption of adequate measures.
Technical activities are typical of a medium-intensity Interreg operation: identification of best practices upon methodological basis, exchange and review between partners, transfer sessions through European workshops and local trainings. Management of Best practices includes a Technical Advisory Committee. 
Diffusion is set at both technical and decision-makers level, so as to give a wider impact to project and Interreg programme. “Gender4Growth Initiative” is a specific elaboration of diffusion targeted at decision- and policy-makers, thanks to involvement of partners' politicians to ward their colleagues in other European regions outside the partnership: 3 European conferences, exchange about orientations and commitments between regional executives and social partners. Communication is also based on standard actions: press releases at each possible occasion, internet and paper supports, presence to other relevant events, proactive contacts to existing networks and organizations.
During the 3 years, partners will deliver  “Awards” to local economic initiatives that most resolve gender issues; they will previously offer technical support so as to ease emergence of such initiatives.
Coordination includes quality monitoring and risk management. 
Main outputs will be a review of partners experience including programming documents, a compendium of identified best practices, best practice exchange events, a series of local and European events with a multiplicative effect, extended segmented communication to European targets, creation of diffusion supports about project results. Main expected results are: reviewed partners policies, staff and organizations with increased sensibility and capacity; a higher presence of gender issue in economic political agendas.
