Who should be considered as participants for technical assistance (TA) operations?

Data for (common) indicators on participants capture only persons that benefit directly from ESF support. As a rule, it is not required to report on common output indicators for TA operations. However, if a TA project includes specific objectives that involve the provision of personalised support (e.g. training) to specific individuals then these persons may be counted as participants. This includes people involved in the audit, IT system, evaluations etc. provided they are targeted by the specific objective of the TA operation and they benefit directly from support.
