The aim of the project was to prepare an assessment grid and a country policy assessment report. The assessment report has four sections:
- a description of the country’s targets and objectives related to business creation and self-employment by the unemployed and social target groups, together with its commitments and new policy actions, linking to Europe 2020 targets;
- a breakdown of business creation, entrepreneurship and self-employment rates and trends in the country by employment status and social group together with data on the barriers faced to entrepreneurship;
- an assessment of current policy actions, recent changes to policies or significant programmes and plans for future policy actions in comparison with policy needs and international good practices; and
- policy advice for improving policy implementation and design and addressing policy gaps.
