The Policy of capital and social cohesion of the Westpomeranian Region has been created and adopted by the Westpomeranian Region as competent regional public authority. The policy addresses two goals:

Goal 1: open community - aware residents and engaged communities - open and prepared for the challenges of the future
1.1 strengthening the demographic potential and family functions
1.2 social inclusion and ensuring development opportunities for all inhabitants of the region.

Goal 2: efficient local government - effective local government, integrated region. Territorial equality in access to high-quality political services.

The policy notes that the most important thing is to mobilize the region's own resources, including in terms of people arriving, citizens of countries outside the EU. He calls them "sleepy capital", for the development of which it is necessary to create conditions for equal opportunities for development and life chances.

The role of regional government should be mainly to:
- coordination of social changes,
- diagnosing the needs and opportunities of local governments and other entities involved in the implementation of policy objectives,
- acting as a mentor / partner in the change process,
- inspiring, developing and testing new, flexible development solutions responding to the challenges of social reality.

Main tool for the policy's implementation is the Regional investment for growth and jobs programme (ROP).

The province of Flemish Brabant takes on different roles (client, financer, director, actor), as mentioned before. With this project, we want further to enhance the development of the social and circular economy.

Crucial to achieving this goal are instruments situated in the different roles:
- the creation of partnerships between different stakeholders. We already have an extensive network of relevant stakeholders such as social economy enterprises pioneering circular economy, the department of the social economy of the Flemish government, the department of circular economy of the Flemish government, as well as representatives of the regular economy (e.g. employers’ organisations)
- enhancing public procurements with the integration of not only social but also circular criteria. For example, the province exploits lending services for social profit. We are examining now if we can buy reusable cups that will be cleaned by social economy partners.
- We manage two subsidy schemes (social entrepreneurship and innovation) applicable for social and circular enterprises. Still, we also want to enhance access to other funding for the social and circular economy.

The regional program “European Funds for Mazowsze 2021-2027” will support the implementation of the objectives of the cohesion policy, including a more competitive and smart Europe, a more environmentally friendly, low-carbon Europe, a better connected Europe, a Europe with a stronger social dimension and a Europe closer to citizens. The program will support R&D, implementation of e-services and entrepreneurship. The aid will be allocated to increasing the energy efficiency of public and residential buildings and to activities supporting air quality control. There will also be co-financing to develop the labour market, education, and social inclusion at the regional level. The program covers the area of NUTS 1: Mazowieckie Voivodeship, including two NUTS 2 units: Warszawski stołeczny and Mazowiecki region.

The program includes, among others, intervention under specific objectives:
4 (a) improving access to employment and activation measures for all jobseekers, in particular young people, particular by implementing the Youth Guarantee, the long-term unemployed and disadvantaged groups on the labour market, as well as for the inactive; and also by promoting self-employment and the social economy;
4 (h) supporting active social inclusion to promote equal opportunities, non-discrimination and active participation, and increasing employability, particularly disadvantaged groups.

Dutch national law requires Hogeland municipal council to implement The Participation Act on local level (Article 7). In the case of Hogeland, the municipality adopted the Handhavingsverordening Participatiewet Hogeland (Enforcement Regulation Participation Act Hogeland) in 2019. The policy is valid until a revision has been decided by the municipal council.

As each Dutch municipality, Hogeland muncipality decides how the Participation Act is implemented and how financial resources granted in form of an unearmarked budget (the so-called bundled benefit, Article 69) are spent on local level.

The Participation Act has been drawn up to guarantee everybody's right to access to work, to make sure that work-disabled people (including non-EU nationals) can find a job. Hogeland's current policy does not define specific actions for non-EU nationals' durable labour market integration.

The concept starting with a socio-economic examination and a SWOT analysis has developed an overarching vision as well as specific objectives and regional strategies for four action fields that have been identified as key to regional development.

In line with VVRN general policy approach, it includes the elaboration of a roadmap or action plan for social economy on regional level that will be featured by a cross-sectorian, multi-stakeholder- and multi-level-approach as we perceive social economy both as a promising independent action field and as an enabler for our other main action fields (medtech, green tech, digitization) identified in our regional development concept.

Finally, the strengthening and extension of the social economy sector shall also allow measuring of the social impact achieved as we are very busy and ambitious in data-driven, evidence-based policies creating the basis for data-based monitoring of our regional sustainability performance with the mid-term goal of delivering one of the first holistic voluntary local review of the SDGs on the regional level.

The policy (original name: Reglament del Servei Municipal d'Acolliment temporal d'Urgència de l'Ajuntament d'Ascó ) includes all temporary public services provided by the municipality to non-EU nationals arriving as refugees. It includes both emergency services (including housing) and as well as longer term assistance, especially in regard of the labour market inclusion.

The policy is governed and implemented by the municipality as local public authority and coordinated with the provincial level (Provincia de Tarragona).

As of today, the policy has proven to be unapplicable and ineffective most recently during the current Ukraine crisis due to lacking major important points as a consequence of a lack of expertise during its drafting.

At present the policy falls short especially regarding the provision of employment and health services as well as educational opportunities.

The main objective of this instrument focuses on the possibility of carrying out a survey of social and environmental problems in the municipalities, which can be resolved by civil society in partnership, or not, with public entities. Some of these problems can already be identified through the Social Development Plan. However, this identification has been made in a compartmentalized way. This approach no longer serves the new challenges of this century, where approaches must be holistic and empowering.

It is vital to understand how the different local agents (companies, social economy organizations, educational institutions, associations, and others) can articulate and contribute to the resolution of social and environmental problems. This dialogue between agents, although necessary, does not always happen, also due to the sectoral approach that usually prevails. For measurement purposes, the Municipal Plan for Social Innovation must contain KPIs defined according to each area of Social intervention, namely Sustaining Innovation and Social Impact.

The overall structure of the RPR Development Program consists of the strategic part, action plan, and monitoring arrangements. The strategic part indicates the link between the document and other planning documents, defining the development goals, priorities, and directions of actions of the region, as well as the results to be achieved. The action plan includes the development of a medium-term action (set of measures) implementation of the program. The monitoring procedure shall determine the monitoring of the implementation of the development program, the organisation, form, responsibilities, and monitoring of the process.

The main target groups of the RPR planning documents are the municipalities in the region to which they belong and directly related to the state institutions through which it is possible to form a regional interest implementation, as well as other actors who may benefit indirectly from the planning document implementation - business actors, different types of organisations, and people in the region.

The Riga Planning Region (RPR) Development Programme 2022-2027 that is currently under development has, for now, the following Strategic Objectives:
Strategic Objective 1 - SOCIALLY INCLUSIVE LIVING IN PROSPEROUS COMMUNITIES
Strategic Objective 2 - KNOWLEDGE-BASED GREEN, INNOVATIVE AND FLEXIBLE ECONOMY, efficient mobility, healthy living, and places
Strategic Objective 3 - ECOLOGICALLY TOLERANT LIFESTYLE AND PLACES

The Plan for Integrated Development of Haskovo Municipality 2021 - 2027 promotes the following objectives:
- Improving the living conditions of the population (qualitative budgetary and other quality public services, improved settlement environment, preserved nature).
- Promoting a more effective business environment (investment, employment, income of the population).
- Safeguarding the environment in the context of climate change.
- Coordinating the realisation of those objectives with other levels of public authorities, such as the regional, is integral to the success of the Plan.

In this attempt, Haskovo strives to become a modern European municipality, offering a high standard of living and security for its citizens. Improving economic activity, increasing tourism potential, developing human resources and protecting the environment are priority areas for the Municipality. In this context, the effective use of partnerships at the regional and national levels creates added value to the public services and the local potential.
