The European Commission (EC) owns these programmes and sets the Europe-wide ESF Programme requirements. The EC governs this Programme through its rules and regulations. In England, the Department for Work and Pensions Managing Authority manages this. The Managing Authority will deliver the Programme's priorities in England to increase labour market participation, promote social inclusion and develop the skills of the potential and existing workforce. The ESF is designed to increase sustainable economic and social inclusion in the European Union, by helping people who have difficulties finding work, and improving the skills of the workforce.
