The Canarian municipalities request 68% of the funds of the Corresponsables Plan. Five months after the start of the Corresponsables Plan, which involves the deployment of measures to facilitate conciliation and care, the municipalities of the Canary Islands have requested 68.07% of the 8,972,809.53 euros that the program hasa. That is, they have claimed 6,107,412.52 euros. The rest of the amount that they have not requestedwhich amounts to 2,865,397.01 euros will target the third sector and private companies to develop measures to implement a care and conciliation policy.
The first step in the execution of this project it is in the Canarian municipalities, the second in the third sector and the third and last in the private sector. The union of the three connects with the idea of establishing this new right to care and conciliation. Each year the Canary Islands will have a financial record of 10 million euros.
«Introducing a new monetary contribution in the execution of a municipality is not easy. It is not the same to introduce 40,000 euros than a million hence there have been municipalities, based on their own ability to administer, that have been able to make it easy to see and others have not. That was already foreseen in our own design and we had a plan B for those amounts that they could not manage directly. It is actually the third sector that ends up executing activities in the municipalities, in one way or another. way we go back to irrigate the space that we are convinced is what needs to be done”, explains Sylvia Jaén, Deputy Minister of Equality and Diversity of the Government of the Canary Islands.
The budget not requested by the municipalities was redirected to the third sector developing new actions that could continue multiplying the social care ecosystem in the Canary Islands. In this way they are developing co-responsible conciliation services as services for minors with recreational activities in the south of Tenerifeconciliation actions in peripheral neighborhoods of the capital of Gran Canaria or aid to the Association of Single Parent Families.

At this amount, which emanates from what was not requested by the municipalities of the Islands, a specific one is added for the third sector that amounts to 744,940.05 euros. The highest amount of subsidy has the program we accompany youthat deploys local family accompaniment in municipalities in the south of Gran Canariawith 22% of those funds, he followsue Tribarte with a conciliation service for minors and meeting families and Radio Ecca with a Training Unit Economy of care: advancing in Equality, both with 20% of that subsidy. These are just some of the examples of the network that is being deployed and that will grow in the coming months.
«In each island and municipalities it arrives in a different way, being very aware that next year and the next will be easier for them and they will generate more actions. In La Laguna, for example, they have woven it very well with the network of nursery schools and from then on they have developed a network of co-responsible parties that in my opinion is wonderfully worked out, in Gáldar they also have it. For having we even have activities in La Graciosa guaranteeing that this new citizen right reaches all the Islands», details Jaén.

To the items requested by the municipalities and to the one destined for the third sector adds a third way of financingn of these actions through a call in competitive competition with the rest of the previous two.
«That allows us to have an ecosystem that really guarantees that one side or the other will have that right. guaranteed care. The money will not be lost. This new network must be watered without stunning it, they must be able to integrate the money with a new vision of planning. It is receive funding to generate new services, increase some that we already had municipally but they were short of financing and increase others, ”he highlights.
One of many goals that are marked with the development of the plan is that in 2025 all the municipalities of the Canary Islands will have home care for children between 0 and 6 years of age or the extension of early reception in a schoolthe latter being the most demanded by families.
“This new network must be watered without stunning it,” says Deputy Minister Sylvia Jaén
“Also there are a number of families that have intergenerational carewho have to take care of minors and also elderly people and have to be able to make a living combining it. There are also projects that are generated to promote intergenerational care», forward.
for now, the deployment of the Corresponsables Plan in the Canary Islands is meeting expectations but we will have to wait until next March to know its implementation in detail. «The level of involvement and projection of the execution must be considered very positivethis has been recognized by the Ministry of Equality for the reports that we have been issuing and for the good reception that we have had in the municipalities, for all the projects that are being developed and as in these months, especially until the end of the year, is when we are going to see the projects take off throughout the Archipelago,” he says.
