The measures will be built on the results of the mapping of infrastructure and service needs in the fields of employment, education, housing, health care and social care that take account of territorial inequalities, educational and spatial segregation, and demographic changes. In order to ensure equal treatment within the various institutions, the IT infrastructure that allows users to access data in a timely and targeted manner must be strengthened and upgraded; this will also allow information to be exchanged between different institutions dealing with the same individual. In this respect, service providers will have to be empowered (trained in the use of the information system) if they are to provide user-friendly social protection services. All investments will follow the principles of desegregation and non-discrimination, with a focus on promoting access to key inclusive services in education, housing, employment, health care and social care. The Programme to Eliminate Material Deprivation in Slovenia 2021–2027 is aimed at the most materially deprived groups in the country. It will provide food and involve target groups in various accompanying measures aimed at addressing their social exclusion and contributing to the eradication of poverty. The programme will also provide psychosocial support, referral to the competent services, information on rights from public funds, the promotion of inclusion in other social inclusion and social activation programmes, and information and advice on healthy lifestyles and on food and budget management. In order to strengthen the role of culture and tourism, we will allocate ERDF funding in the ESCR to the comprehensive preservation of cultural heritage, which will be given concrete expression in projects involving sustainable small-scale investment in regeneration, the maintenance and revitalisation of heritage, promotion of the development of (cultural) tourism and improvements to physical access and access to information, including for people unable, for whatever reason, to access cultural heritage and destinations. Projects in the field of cultural heritage will be consistent with the orientations of the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage and with the ICOMOS European Quality Principles. Culture and cultural identity, given added value in the image and integrated range of Slovenian tourist products and services, is an innovative factor that can make a key contribution to completing the value chain and significantly increasing value added and sustainability in Slovenian tourism. These measures constitute an important part of the structural changes that are indispensable for a more productive and stable tourism ecosystem capable of adapting, even in unexpected crisis situations. We will support investment in the development of integrated tourism products in the form of authentic tourism experiences, with the aim of raising the reputation and quality of tourist destinations in Eastern Slovenia. By investing in the creation of tourism content within existing cultural heritage and integrating it into the general range of tourist products and services on offer, we will create new, more attractive jobs and achieve higher value added in a sustainable way. By ensuring the sustainable development of destinations, we will contribute to improving the quality of life of those who live in tourist areas and make tourism more acceptable for the local environment, thereby following the lines set out in the European Commission’s proposal for a Transition Pathway for Tourism (TTP). In parallel, PO1 will strengthen digitalisation knowledge and skills, green tourism, sustainable development and destination management, in line with the EU Pact for Skills in Tourism.
