The purpose of the DLA is to assist employment associations, integration structures and other enterprises of social benefit that create jobs in their efforts to consolidate and develop. This mechanism is a real tool of territorial animation and social link by its target. The mission of BGE Guyane’s DLA is to draw up a shared diagnosis of the association structure and its activities, and then to propose a consolidation plan that can be based on individual and/or collective support. These accompaniments are carried out by experts who generally act within the structure and make recommendations adapted to the situation and the context. A Technical Support Committee shall give its opinion on the diagnosis and the proposed mission. It is made up of various decentralised departments of the State and of local and regional authorities which act on the basis of the files submitted. Thanks to a recognised and adapted procedure, it is a real tool for economic development and territorial animation, contributing directly to the maintenance, development and creation of jobs and activities on the territory. Within the framework of this support scheme, the advantages for associations are numerous: —a personalised procedure, conducted with the association — a local support, inscribed over the long term — respect for the values of the association and its projects -the possible free of charge of services, stakeholders and experts for the association — assistance in the search for financial solutions (guarantees of borrowing, contributions of equity, etc.) adapted to its project — an involvement of associative coordinations and networks at local, regional and national level. The purpose of the DLA is therefore to strengthen the capacities of the stakeholders in the performance of their functions, the object and implementation of their structuring projects. The DLA then becomes a real tool for professionalisation at the service of associative beneficiaries and constitutes a space for sharing and exchange with its peers within collective engineering, thus fostering the emergence of partnerships and exchanges of good practices. _Beneficiaries of the action:_ -Social and solidarity-based enterprises by their legal nature (associations, cooperatives, mutual societies, foundations). — Commercial enterprises benefiting from the authorisation Entreprise Solidaire d’Utilité socialee (ESUS) which create jobs and are engaged in a process of consolidation or development of their business. These are in particular structures which: are willing to consolidate their activities, to sustain or create jobs; have identified difficulties that require external professional support; they question their strategy of consolidation and development of their activities. The DLA is aimed at all the social utility structures of the department of Guyana. That is to say, mainly the PMAEs, small and medium-sized employers’ associations, whose borders with SMEs are now very thin. Like the latter, these structures must work to professionalise their employees and managers: Directors as presidents must be severed in Human Resources, project formalisation and management, development strategies, accounting management and law. It should also be noted that the DLA is also interested in cooperatives, and structures for economic integration. In each territory, however, local pilots refine the targeting of beneficiaries annually. What is expected is not to prioritise (at the eligibility stage or in support) a structure based on its associative, cooperative, or other status, but from its willingness to work on its economic model to improve, structure and strengthen it. ‘The beneficiary structure must indicate objectives in terms of creation, consolidation or development of employment’: the priority is really on the selection criterion of employment. It should be borne in mind that, in terms of methodology, the target beneficiary of the DLA will be defined, specified, each year according to the guidelines of the regional pilots but above all on the basis of a shared territorial diagnosis. Primary-employee structures cannot be excluded or those in great difficulty if job protection is possible, but the structures in creation that the DLA could nevertheless host will have to be redirected to the appropriate network of actors involved in the support of creation. It should be recalled that a structure which has already benefited from individual or collective engineering may again be a candidate if, however, the regional pilots validate the added value of the previous intervention(s) and if this is the case.
