The Most Effective Tools Used by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to Influence the Development of Employment Skills

Detailed project description

The project focuses on analysing the contributions of civil society organisations to human capital development through non-formal and informal learning in six countries (Albania, Jordan, Serbia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan), in the context of lifelong learning and the post-Covid-19 era.

Overall objective
To enhance understanding and recognition of the role of CSOs in lifelong skills development in order to inform public policies on education, training and employment.

Specific objectives
• To map CSO activities in the field of non-formal and informal learning and employment.
• To analyse CSOs’ response to crises (particularly Covid-19) and their participation in policy dialogue.
• To identify and document the methods, tools and approaches deemed effective by CSOs in different geographical contexts.

Expected outcomes
• A report presenting a reasoned typology of CSO methods and tools (participation, advocacy, learning by doing, needs analysis, evidence gathering).
• Operational recommendations to improve operational procedures, collaboration with state and non-state actors, and the effectiveness of CSO interventions in DHC within the framework of ALV.
