description:

The provision of quality technical assistance to youth employment policy and programme development poses a number of daunting challenges. Firstly, it requires a full understanding of the economic growth dynamics and functioning of the specific labour market. Secondly, it needs to be underpinned by comprehensive knowledge on the operations of complex organisations (public administration in general, ministries and department in charge of labour and employment and Public Employment Services). Thirdly, it requires the detailed exploration of past and current public policies in very diverse areas (education, fiscal, enterprise development, social protection, poverty reduction and so on). Such work often requires that technical cooperation projects go beyond the specific outputs and activities designed in the project document to actually achieve the stated objectives. However, project resource constraints (time, expertise and funds) may limit the scope of the assistance provided. For example, in this project a good deal of work was done on improving the collection and analysis of labour market data, but the financial resources for such work had to be enhanced by tapping different and additional sources as described in this evaluation. Without such additional leveraged funds, such work would not have been possible. It is largely due to the endeavours of the CTA that this extra funding became available to the project.
