Just like the «improving access to employment and sustainability» theme, the theme of improving the social inclusion of disadvantaged persons is not handled as part of the transnational programmes. The average number of projects concerning this theme was 4.5 per programme. The Indian Ocean programme was the one which implemented the largest number of projects concerning the social inclusion of disadvantaged persons. Indeed, as part of its third priority entitled «Favouring human development and international solidarity for harmonious regional integration», the 2007-2013 Indian Ocean programme sought to support welfare initiatives. Although 5.6% of the budgetary envelope for this programme was programmed for this theme, this represented only €1.66 million for 19 projects, i.e. €87,000 per project approximately. Conversely, the programmed EU sums for the France (Manche) - England programme alone was €1.05 million, corresponding to less than 1% of the overall budgetary envelope for the programme. France-Suisse We should also note that the issue of the social inclusion of disadvantaged persons is a question which has been barely explored by the European Territorial Cooperation programmes for the 2007-2013 period. This is a theme which remains specific to those projects covered by the European Social Fund (ESF). 3
