The Skills Development for Employment Programme provided technical support to the Ministry of Finance and Economy to carry out the Mid-Term Review of the Employment and Skills Strategy (NESS) 2014-2020, as a milestone of the monitoring and evaluation plan of this Strategy from its adoption in 2014 until 2018. This comprehensive review assessed the entire set of outputs as per 52 actions, 16 sub-objectives and the four strategic priorities.

The report was finalized in November 2018 and was presented to and endorsed by the Integrated Policy Management Group (IPMG) “Employment and Social Policy” in December 2018.

Findings and recommendations of the Mid-Term Review form the basis for the implementation extension of the Strategy and for the revision of its Action Plan.
