Abstract

The employment performance of the employment generation programs appears transitory and short term. Although some programs exceeded the employment targets, it is not clear how these numbers are translated at the macro level. The programs are apparently intended to address other social issues such as poverty reduction, social/human development or community development rather than for providing net employment impact. These inferences however need to be validated through in-depth impact analysis of specific programs, which has not been possible under this study. To provide effective evaluation of these studies, there is a need to create convergence and agreements among key departments with regards to the methodology and definitions in identification and counting of jobs. The absence of central monitoring and evaluation office in each department has also created difficulty in identifying and integrating information and data.
