2014-2016: Strength in numbers

709.542: the number of people whose lives improved in some way because of contributions from the 2014-2016 programme, instead of the planned 537.250 people.

What do we understand by “improve” in this case? Two main areas:
  1. Better jobs: 42.854 workers can defend their labour rights better after training, 139.850 have increased awareness and legal aid allowed 8.977 vulnerable workers to improve their jobs. These improved services also led to an increase in organized members, with 77.803 new members, 30% more than planned. Also, 3.712 people saw their income improve through income generating activities.
  2. Coverage: after three years, 42.440 workers have better social security and 351.466 people had an increased access to health.
