Subsidies: yes, but inside an order

This weekend I have seen Matrix, while this photo was snowing after the window (tuiteé). Morfeo quoted a phrase that comes to the hair:

"There is a big difference between the way knows the way and gait"

Fernando Fantova, the new viceadviser of Social Matters, realizes well the way from the beginning and has begun to cover it without losing time.

That's why, last Thursday, the 7th of January, in the third bulletin of 2010, the Decree 649/2009 has been published, of December 29, by which the subsidies are regulated for the promotion of activities of the third sector in the ambience of the social intervention in the Basque Country.

This Decree is the first step to begin to arrange the public politics on the subject of social intervention in Basque Country. It is necessary to bear in mind that talks each other of an area of performance much distributed between the different administrative levels and in that, also, the social initiative has a very excellent role. Finally, it is a question of a suitable matter to experience new forms of gobernanza, with the collaboration and the participation of the different administrations and the social initiative.

In this Decree there is annotated the ambience of the social intervention:

" activities faced to the promotion and protection of the personal autonomy and community integration of all the persons, in particular, when they are framed in or recount to the following matters: the social services; the social inclusion; the protection of the family; the prevention of the drug addiction and the consequent reduction of risks and damages; the attention and protection to the infancy and the adolescence; the integration of the immigrant persons and, in general, the interculturalidad; the attention and protection to the biggest persons; the attention and protection to the persons in dependency situation and, in general, of disability; and the freedom and affective - sexual diversity".

There are defined the common criteria of all the lines subsidize them:

• Prevention
• Community approach
• Personalización
  
• Synergy
  
• Promotion of the autonomy, the participation and the empoderamiento of the persons and the groups
• Standardization
  
• Integration
  
• Continuous progress of the management

And all the subsidies qualify in three groups:

• Activities of social intervention with persons, families, groups and communities.
• Activities for the strengthening of the voluntary action and the associative participation in the social intervention.
• Knowledge management activities for the social intervention.

It has seemed interesting to me that the knowledge management activities have been included between the lines subsidize them. I believe that in this field there is a very interesting space for the social innovation and that, undoubtedly, it has to do with the knowledge management in this ambience.

By chance, on Saturday I had news across a "tuit" of Julen Iturbe of the publication of the article "Innovation opened in the third sector: the organizational model 2.0", in the Spanish Magazine of the Third Sector that Luis Vives publishes the Foundation. It is sure that it gives good tracks to innovate also in the social intervention.

There have not passed to me for high the references to the evaluation of the public politics that are realized, both in the explanatory preamble of the Decree, and in the explanation of the criterion of progress of the management. It is sure that in this topic we are going to advance in this term in the set of the Basque Government. And, also, we are going to do it of form colaborativa and sharing the knowledge. So the interesting thing is not going to be only what, but also how.

In short, with this Decree it has been passed in the good direction. I hope that it should be the first one of a long way, because in this matter, as in many others, there are big progress opportunities.
