  2. What is the ESF? • The European Social Fund (ESF) is one of the EU's Structural Funds, set up to reduce differences in prosperity and living standards across EU Member States and regions, and therefore promoting economic and social cohesion. • The ESF is devoted to promoting employment in the EU. It helps Member States make Europe's workforce and companies better equipped to face new, global challenges. • Over the period 2007-2013 some €75 billion will be distributed to the EU Member States and regions to achieve its goals.

On this basis, seven-year Operational Programmes are planned by Member States together with the European Commission. • These Operational Programmes are then implemented through a wide range of organisations, both in the public and private sector. These organisations include national, regional and local authorities, educational and training institutions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the voluntary sector, as well as social partners, for example trade unions and work councils, industry and professional associations, and individual companies.
