Evaluation of the capacity of the ESF delivery systems to attract and support OP target groups

This evaluation has been commissioned by the European commission in the context of the framework contract signed between DG EMPLOYMENT and Eureval in association with Ramboll Management and Ecorys. The main objective is to provide geographical desks with better information on how the delivery systems of the ESF work. In particular what is the influence of the formal framework of delivery systems (official procedures) and the “de facto” features of it (local interpretations and practices). The objective is to determine a successful way to attract and support OP target groups. The analysis will be based on an empirical study of a selection of 20 OPs including desk analysis in a first place and an in-depth field investigation (interviews, data base of good practices and workshops) in a second place.
