Welcome to CIP EQUAL website

The European EQUAL Community Initiative, operating within the framework of European Employment Strategy forms one of Community’s initiatives focusing on elimination and alleviation of all forms of discrimination and inequality in the labour market. Moreover, it provides the opportunity for development, verification and application of new integrated approaches, the results of which are to be incorporated into employment and inclusion policy formation of the Slovak Republic.

Its main objective is to create conditions and provide the opportunity for seeking, testing and applying new innovative approaches in resolving problems occurring while combating all forms of discrimination and inequalities in the labour market. As part of this Initiative, all Member States have agreed on common thematic fields, on which they wish to cooperate, and to learn from one another.
