How to identify end recipients belonging to minorities or with a foreign background?

Answer

How to collect sensitive data on end recipients, relating to indicators EMCR08 and EMCR17 (respectively Number of recipients with a foreign background or from a minority receiving food support and Number of recipients with a foreign background or from a minority receiving material support)?

 

Information to compile these indicators can be based on informed estimates without the need of collecting it from end recipients. For ESF+, definitions for "minorities" and "individual with a foreign background" are based on national definitions. This implies that if the national legislation does not allow for the collection of such information, data for the relevant indicators do not have to be collected.
