What is Co-Financing?

What is Co-Financing?

All European Social Fund (ESF) monies in England in the 2007 – 2013 Programme will be distributed through Co-financing Organisations (CFOs).  A CFO acts as an intermediary body supplying both the ESF and the match funding elements to carry out the work as specified in a published prospectus.

As well as Luton, there are four other ESF Co-financing Organisations operating across the East of England region:

• The Skills Funding Agency (also operating on behalf of the Young People's Learning Agency)
• The East of England Development Agency
• Jobcentre Plus
• Bedford Borough Council and Central Bedfordshire Council (administered by Central Bedfordshire)
• NOMS (National Offender Management Service)
