Better identification and targeting of vulnerable and marginalized groups through periodic generation of reliable information 2. Developed capacity of decision-makers, managers and staff of participating central and local institutions as well as social partners to better design, monitor and evaluate policies, strategies and action-oriented employment programmes for marginalised groups. 3. Improved policy dialogue among the relevant institutions to support the inclusion of marginalised people into the labour market. 4. Measures for the inclusion of marginalized groups designed and tested in three municipalities.
