Employment: "Linking Local Actors"

December 2005

In partnership with the firm European Dynamics, AEIDL won (in December 2005) an important contract with the DG Employment and Social Affairs of the European Commission. The contract is called “"Linking Local Actors". The work involves setting up a European database which will enable 1) cooperation among local actors for employment (in 27 countries) and 2) between the local actors and the European Commission. The website will provide useful information about events, sources of funding, partners searches, best practices etc. The methodology proposed by the AEIDL/ European Dynamics Team revolved around three main ideas:
- cooperation with a panel of experts selected on the basis of their expertise in various thematic areas;
- a flexible approach based on matching the demand and supply of information;
- creating synergies between thematic experts and journalists.
Today, local development is recognized as one of the European priorities as regards employment. This contract is at the heart of AEIDL’s mission to offer a range of services to local development actors. Furthermore, it strengthens the cooperation with DG Employment and Social Affairs of the European Commission, in an area in which AEIDL has been very active in the past, i.e. local employment initiatives. Previous contracts such as ELISE involved the management of a European information network on local employment initiatives.

Promotion of the eco-label

The Belgian Federal Public Service for the Environment has contracted AEIDL (December 2005) to carry out an overhaul of its ministerial website, dedicated to the eco-label www.ecolabel.be. The work carried out by our association will cover several different skills: analysis of the existing site, definition of a new architecture and new structure for navigation, writing texts, graphics and translations. One of the challenges is to make the information more accessible and adapt it to the needs of three specific target groups: enterprises, private consumers, public purchasers.

Editorial Secretariat of the URBACT Internet site

The Interministerial Delegation on Cities in France, the management authority of the URBACT programme, has chosen AEIDL to be editorial secretariat for the internet site of the URBACT programme.

The Belgian National Environment and Health Action Plan website

AEIDL is creating the environment and health website on behalf of the Federal State, the Flemish Community, the French-speaking Community and the German-speaking Community, the Joint Community Committee, the French Community Committee, the Flemish Region, the Walloon Region and the Brussels Capital Region.
The Belgian National Environment and Health Action Plan (NEHAP) emerged in a political context marked by an awareness of the importance of the environment and its connection with health, and following various World Health Organisation initiatives. In environmental and health terms, competence is shared, under Belgian law, between the federal authority, the Communities and the Regions. With the NEHAP, all of these institutional partners are brought into close cooperation.

Online presentation of the Environment DG policies of the Belgian FPS

Following an initial contract in 2003, AEIDL renewed its contract to work with the Environment Directorate General of the Belgian Federal Public Service (FPS) Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment. AEIDL’s assignment is to place information on the DG’s website by means of fact sheets on the various areas of activity and involvement. The subjects dealt with by the Environment DG are complex and technical, not well known by the general public, although they concern major sections of the population: be they consumers, NGOs, businesses, civil servants, etc. The challenge facing the AEIDL’s team of journalists involves rigorously and precisely processing the information, using a suitable register to make it accessible to the greatest number of people. A wide variety of issues are thus being addressed: biodiversity, GMOs, the marine environment, eco-labels, the European strategy for chemical products, to mention but a few. Each of these subjects has been assigned an appropriate editorial format to meet the requirements of its target audience. In this way, AEIDL is contributing to a public information assignment, in order to help citizens play their part in environmental policies, in accordance with the Aarhus Convention recently ratified by Belgium.

Territorial Employment Pacts

The territorial employment pacts were launched by the European Commission in 1996. AEIDL was responsible for preparing a methodology to analyse best practices, analysing best practices and creating the territorial employment pacts website which it managed between 1996 and 1999.
