Surveillance turn on! - monitoring report

SEEYN will monitor Active Measure on youth self-employment. For this purpose we are going to measurerelevance, effectiveness, eficiency, coherence and impact of 2 similar programs that BIH federal ministry of Labor implemented from 2011.

All National baseline report which were made in 2015 by the project partners have shown a number of characteristics that are common for all countries in the region. To mention just a few: The emergence of spatial inequalities and disparities in accessibility for the active measures of employment; at the institutional level - passivity, lack of measurable indicators of progress, inflexibility of the program; at the level of education - non-compliance with the needs of the market, the question of traineeship, lack of recognition of non-formal education as a resource...
Unfortunately, in most countries, through desktop research it was possible to reach only the information on the number of measures, the number of users, sum of money allocated  ... Analysis of how certain measures are aimed at different groups of young people at risk – no one thinks about this just because all active measures are related to the entire target group of young people regardless of their social risk.
For all these reasons, this action plan envisages the implementation of the monitoring over the implementation of existing and analysis of the impact of implemented active measures in order to determine their relevance and need to create space for social innovation. Special attention will be given to the measures on which public institutions allocate the most money. All these measures are centralized, sometimes carried out with the participation of subcontractors (mostly when it comes to increasing of the employability and acquisition of competencies) and the general impression of users who participated in the research is that these measures are mostly unknown in the public, in most cases (not sufficiently well-established in the public) inefficient and without the real impact, in relation to the amount of resources allocated for them.
