ESF Synthesis Report 2022
Since 2016, annual reports synthesise the ESF achievements on the basis of the annual implementation reports submitted by member states. This edition summarises the achievements by end 2021 (reported by MS in 2022). It was prepared by the ESF+ Data Support Centre.
ESF implementation dashboard and database
The ESF implementation dashboard and database in PowerBI is to help data analysis by offering comparisons and standard metrics (e.g. success rates). Comparisons can be made across countries, investment priorities, categories of regions and programmes.
ESF Implementation Dashboard
The dashboard compiles information about the financial and physical implementation of the ESF in the 2014-2020 period until end 2020. The achievements in common indicators can be compared in terms of unit costs, success rates and progress to targets and broken down by member state, operational programme category of region, thematic objective and investment priority.

ESF Monitoring -Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) - Are the follow-up indicators for YG the same as the longer-term result indicators for the YEI?
No. The YEI longer-term result indicators are to be recorded 6 months after having left the YEI operation, and they capture only positive results. By contrast, the YG “follow-up” indicators cover both positive and negative outcomes (i.e. participants who are still unemployed and inactive have to be reported as well as those in employment or education/training). In addition, YG follow-up indicators are to be collected 6, 12 and 18 months after the exit.
ESF Monitoring -Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) - Is the re-entry of participants treated in the same way in the YEI and in the YG monitoring?
No. In YG monitoring each start is counted, irrespective of the number of times the same participant has been through the service phase. For YEI monitoring (as with the general ESF monitoring) individuals are counted only once per operation (by updating their existing participation record on re-entry).
ESF Monitoring -Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) - Are the entry and exit dates for monitoring participants in the YEI and in the YG service phase the same?
Generally, YEI operations support the provision of actual offers. Therefore the exit and entry dates for YG service phase and YEI do not coincide.
ESF Monitoring - Baseline and Targets - Is it obligatory to set targets broken down by gender?
No, for either result or output indicators, targets and baselines (where applicable) may be presented broken down by gender in the OP, but this is not a requirement and they can also be expressed only as a total. Note however, that data on all common indicators for participants have to be reported broken down by gender in the AIR (in addition to the total value). Programme-specific indicators data may also be reported broken down by gender, but this is not a formal requirement.
