The event brought together representatives from various entities, including Seed Capital Bizkaia, ACCEM, eLankidetza, Centro Ellacuría, Cáritas, Zubietxe, and Peñascal.
A panel featuring Lino Pujol-Soliano (Operations Director at Quotanda), Ferdinand M. Wollenberg (Analyst at the European Investment Fund - EIF), and Belén Vallina (President of Yaran Foundation) delved into financing formulas linked to education and training.
Subsequently, representatives from the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean and Labor Pathways discussed the role of philanthropic and multilateral capital in regularization processes and access to formal employment, referencing an experience from Mexico.
Finally, members from English, French, and Italian organizations debated financing mechanisms associated with labor mobility corridors to Africa, involving companies, training entities, selection processes, support, and safeguard systems.
“"Integration always requires support, which is why financing deserves the same rigor as legal matters. All policy needs sufficient and dignified resources to carry out activities. Philanthropic funding can contribute to certain initiatives, but it does not replace public responsibilities nor eliminate the need for planning, control, transparency, and evaluation."
This was stated by Minister Nerea Melgosa in her opening speech to the 50 participants at the conference.
