Project Title
Evaluation of the Common Initiative EQUAL Austria- 2000-2006
Abstract
The evaluation of the common initiative EQUAL Austria 2000-2006 covers the finding and testing,
as well as the promotion of new ways to fight discrimination against deprived groups of individuals
on the job market, as well as the analysis and assessment thereof.
The focuses of the accompanying as well as the mid-term assessment lie in the analysis of the goals
set in the programme of the common initiative EQUAL and by the development partnerships,the relevance
of EQUAL, its logic of intervention and consistency of the entire programme, as well as the analysis
of results and effects of EQUAL; its effectiveness and the efficiency of EQUAL interventions.
A mixed method of quantitative and qualitative approaches should be especially suited to the
experimental nature of EQUAL.
Among the applicable methods would be a panel discussion of participants, a survey of businesses,
interviews with experts, survey of the target group, as well as case studies in the framework of
the projects which are to be evaluated by EQUAL.
