Investing in people
Human and social development
The Programme “Investing in people” aims to support actions in the area of human and social development, in particular: education , health , gender equality, social cohesion, employment, childhood and youth, as well as culture .

- good health for all;
- education, knowledge and skills;
- gender equality;
- other aspects of social and human development such as:
- employment and social cohesion, (aiming to improve working conditions on an international level);
- youth and children (against the exploitation of children and in favour of improving job prospects for the young);
- culture (access to culture and cultural diversity).
