Integrated Community Development

The general objective of the project is "Community development and quality of life in Porumbacu de Jos commune, Jud. Sibiu by providing a full social intervention in the social fields revealed, i.e. employment, social and medical services, housing and promoting access to information regarding social and citizenship rights of members of the community”. In order to achieve this objective, the project provides concentrated and complementary interventions for the 260 people belonging to the target group, namely people at risk of poverty and social exclusion from the community belonging to the Local Development Strategy approved by the NRDP 2014-2020. We will offer a wide range of employment services (vocational counselling and vocational guidance, work mediation, vocational training), social and socio-medical services (for children, elderly people, families in need and with a large number of children, etc.), entrepreneurship measures through educational support of entrepreneurship, as well as by sustainably supporting the process of setting up a business from the idea to its implementation), as well as other activities to ensure decent housing and access to adequate social rights. By what we intend, corroborating all the project activities we contribute to the achievement of specific objective 5.2. “Reduce the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion from marginalised communities in rural areas and cities with a population of up to 20,000 inhabitants by implementing measures/operations integrated in the context of CLLD mechanism”. The complexity of the proposed project achieves objectives assumed by Romania in the programmatic documents and in its efforts to promote social inclusion and combat poverty as stipulated in the provisions of Priority Axis 5 of POCU. The purpose of the project also does not deviate from the relevant documents on the basis of which POCU was defined and thus aims to contribute to the removal from poverty and social exclusion of fragile marginalised groups and who can be socially active persons who can contribute to the well-being of the community where they come from, moving from the stage of the socially assisted person to the active person in society. Achieving the general objective through the interactions of the envisaged interventions are thought of in a manner that ensures long-term effects, social effects by removing from the marginalisation state a number of 260 people and economic effects by involving in active measures the employment of 130 people, of which 33 will be employed on the labour market (including self-employment), who initially provided income only from social benefits or occasional work performed in the community.
