HomePerformance monitoring report of the EaSI strand of the ESF+ for 2021-2023
Publication metadata
The purpose of this report is to assess the performance for the Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) strand of the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) for 2021-2023. The report analyses outputs, outcomes, and financial implementation across six main KPIs/PPI covering areas such as analytical activities, information sharing, social experimentation, capacity building, job placements, and support for microenterprises and social enterprises. The study applies a mixed-method approach which involves quantitative analysis of performance data through the ‘megareports’ indicating EaSI activities, stakeholder survey, interviews and further desk research of examples of EaSI funded projects. The study also utilises methodologies related to the analysis of citations to assess how far reaching are the outputs generated by the EaSI strand.The EaSI strand demonstrated robust performance from 2021 to 2023, achieving targets set for most of the KPIs (four out of six) and contributing to policy development in areas such as platform work, social protection, and cross-border employment. Budget execution varied across KPIs, with majority of the areas well positioned in terms of disbursements vis-à-vis planned allocations. Challenges emerge in scaling of social innovations – while it is an ongoing component which may ramp up for the subsequent monitoring report, addressing shortcomings in relation to this area is important. Overall, integration into the broader ESF+ framework appears successful in creating a more cohesive approach for EaSI activities and aligns well with the priorities of ESF+ itself.
