STRAND II

MEASURING SOCIAL ADDED VALUE

Main topics

Comparability (framework?) Dissemination: bottom up process Dilemma: how to justify capacity

building/processes/cultural changes in a RBM-results-based management context?

Indicators or process? Is it a too technical question? Need to quantify costs. Every SE (even small ones)

can do some kind of Social Value mesaurement

Improved recommendations

Merged 2 recommendations (n.5-ESF should fund social value measurement tools and experiences n.6-ESF providing training and assistance)

Added 1 recommendation (ESF new regulations say 20% must be spent on social inclusion. Every MA needs a tool to measure what socvial inclusion means)

Modified 1 recommendation (social value should be horizontal issue in Structural Funds)
