The city contract covering the period 2015-2022 concerns 8% of the population of the Nice Côte d’Azur metropolis: “Invest in innovative projects. The goal is to sustain an initiative. I believe in partnership politics”, introduces Anthony Borré, deputy mayor of the city of Nice.
155 actions will be carried out by 68 operators and 50 associations, for a total budget of €876,000, all fully financed by the metropolis. The deputy mayor highlights the good fortune of the city of Nice to have such a numerous and supported associative network.
Three axes are crucial for the financing of a potential action: the first focuses on social cohesion and living environment. In total, 58 actions and 33 associations make up this axis with a dedicated budget of €366,000. The association “Eveille ton art” based in Moulins promotes access to art and culture as well as social diversity.
The second concerns access to employment. It involves 15 associations and 18 actions for a more than €122,000 allocation. The goal is to develop a partnership initiative to promote professional integration. An example is the association “Nice Arianne Développement” led by Alain Menardi, which helps young and senior individuals find work through sessions. The association presents impressive results as 63% of its members found a job after this training. This outcome surpasses Pôle Emploi, which shows only a 55% integration following a training session, as noted by the prefect’s representative, Mr. François Delemotte.
The last axis, in turn, focuses on the prevention and fight against radicalization and the promotion of republican values. It includes 17 actions for 14 associations and a budget of €138,000.
The representative of the Prefect expressed gratitude to the associations that contribute to the smooth functioning of the city, proudly affirming that the associations can be proud of themselves!
