Development and strengthening of the monitoring system of the National Employment Programme (NEP)

This programme had three main pillars: skills development, promotion of micro-enterprises and labour-market interventions. Under NEP inclusive business models for the poor were initiated aiming to overcome market failures. Tasks as international M&E expert included:

• Support to transfer the existing monitoring system into a result-oriented monitoring system aiming to inform policy makers about effective projects and measures in the area of skills development, promotion of micro-enterprises and labour market interventions.
• Return-on-investment calculations of various informal and non-formal skills development interventions and micro-enterprise start-ups.
• Assistance for producing the NEP quarterly and annual reports
• Contributions to linking the Labour Market Information System with the NEP M&E system
• Capacity building of NEP Secretariat and implementing structures at National Level in results chain monitoring and reporting
