Social Sciences - Human Resources / employment policy
French term or phrase: faire l’avance
Le dispositif s’inscrit donc clairement dans une logique de complémentarité par rapport aux dispositifs plus structurels qui figurent dans les autres axes prioritaires du programme. Il doit permettre de financer, en priorité, des petits porteurs qui ne peuvent pas accéder directement au FSE, faute d’une solidité financière qui permette de ***faire l’avance*** du FSE, ou d’une organisation administrative suffisante pour gérer une aide communautaire sans un accompagnement spécifique et durable.

The FSE is the European Social Fund.

to meet expenditures in advance of the ESF payment


Explanation:
A more official(ese) way of saying it.




Example sentence(s):
  • This has the advantage of allowing the balance to be carried forward into the subsequent biennium to either meet expenditures in advance of the EC payment, thereby avoiding a risk of a deficit, or to meet any unforeseen peaks in expenditure.
