This indicator measures the number of employment-related services that have been newly established or significantly improved with Grants support. These services aim to increase access to decent work, enhance employability, and reduce unemployment among disadvantaged or marginalised groups.

Employment services may include:

a. Job counselling or career guidance

b. Job placement or matching services

c. Skills assessment and career planning

d. Support for job search or CV preparation

e. Employment outreach or mobile job centres

f. Employer engagement services

An “improved” service reflects tangible enhancements in quality, accessibility, coverage, or effectiveness. Only services directly supported by the programme and operational during the Grants period are counted.
