The INTERREG IVC Program is part of the European Territorial Cooperation Objective of the Structural Fund policies for the period 2007-2013. It is a EU program that helps regions of Europe work together to share their knowledge and experience. Launched in 2007, the programme will run until 2013.

“Helping regions to share solutions”

The project G4G has been developed as an answer to two necessities. ◦The difficulty to reach Lisbon Agenda goals on time

by 2010,◦ The charter on Local Life (CEMR, 2006), signed by

several partners now.With Gender4Growth, partners intend to update

their frameworks of economic policies, facilitating professional contribution of women to the economy.

In some words “strengthen economy with gender issue”
