The purpose of the DLA is to assist employment associations, integration structures and other employment-creating social utility companies in their consolidation and development process. This device is a real tool of territorial animation and social linkage by its target. The DLA led by BGE Guyana has the mission to establish a shared diagnosis of the associative 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 intervene in general 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 consists of various decentralised departments of the State and local authorities that intervene according to the files submitted. Thanks to a recognised and adapted procedure, it is a real tool for economic development and territorial animation, directly contributing to the maintenance, development and creation of jobs and activities on the territory. Within the framework of this support scheme, the benefits for associative structures are numerous: —a personalised procedure, carried out with the association -an accompaniment of proximity, inscribed over time – the respect of the values of the association and its projects – the possible free of charge of services, speakers and experts for the association – assistance in the search for financial solutions (borrowing guarantees, contributions of own funds, etc.) adapted to its project -involvement of the coordinations and associations networks at local, regional and national level The DLA therefore aims to strengthen the capacities of the stakeholders in the exercise of their function, object and implementation of their structuring projects. The DLA then becomes a real tool of professionalisation at the service of associative beneficiaries and constitutes a space for sharing and exchanges with its peers within collective engineering, thus promoting the birth of partnerships and exchanges of good practices. Beneficiaries of the action: —Companies in the social and solidarity economy by their legal nature (associations, cooperatives, mutual societies, foundations). —Commercial companies benefiting from the approval of Enterprise Solidaire d’Utilité Sociale (ESUS) who are job-creating and engaged in a process of consolidation or development of their business. These are in particular structures that: —have the will to consolidate their activities, to sustain or create jobs; have identified difficulties that require external professional support; question their strategy of consolidation, the development of their activities. The DLA is addressed to all social utility structures of the Department of Guyana. That is, mainly LDCs, small and medium-sized employment associations, whose borders with SMEs are now very thin. Like the latter, these structures must work towards the professionalisation of their employees and managers: Directors as Presidents must be trained in Human Resources, in the formalisation and management of projects, in development strategies, in accounting management and in law. It should also be recalled that the DLA is also interested in cooperatives and economic integration structures. In each territory, however, local pilots annually refine the targeting of beneficiaries. 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 show objectives in terms of the creation, consolidation or development of employment’: the priority is really on the selection criterion of employment. We must remember that in methodological terms, 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 the safeguarding of employment is possible, on the other hand the structures in creation that the DLA could nevertheless host will have to be redirected to the appropriate network of actors from support to creation. Let us remember to be complete that a structure that has already benefited from individual or collective engineering may be a new candidate if the regional pilots validate the added value of the previous intervention(s) and if the same structure is unable to otherwise finance this additional support. The DLA will then be responsible for building with the association a motivated file based on specific criteria such as a proven problem, the territorial utility of the project, the absence of other types of support offer to mobilise, etc. Remember that the DLA was created in 2002 by the Ministry of Employmen
