Report on the mid-term evaluation of the European Union Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI)

Summary:

Report presented on 20 May 2019 by the European Commission evaluating the activities of the EaSI Programme from January 2014 to December 2016.

Further information:

The European Union Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) is designed to promote a high level of quality and sustainable employment, guarantee adequate and decent social protection, combat social exclusion and poverty, and improve working conditions in the Member States and in other participating countries (EFTA/EEA, EU candidate and pre-candidate countries).

The mid-term evaluation assessed progress made in achieving the programme’s objectives and its continuing relevance, its efficiency and use of resources, its policy coherence in relation to other instruments and its EU added value. EaSI’s governance was also examined. The evaluation aimed to recommend adjustments to the way the programme is run in order to improve performance in future implementation and to contribute to preparation for the post-2020 period.

The mid-term evaluation is presented as a staff working document (SWD) accompanying this report.
