Dear Lika,

as mentioned in my previous mail, I made some -admittedly crude - calculations regarding the workload implied by the Indicator. We could make more precise calculations with the data from the WorkNet and, maybe, with the assumption on the time required per client,
but I don't think the result would be very much different. I would therefore strongly suggest to take the number of clients
actually served by the SESA offices as the basis for calculation of the 35%, and not the number of beneficiaries in the remote municipalities and regions.

Best regards,

Heinrich

Subject: BS Indicator 2.3 - further explanation

Dear Lika,

I want to come back to my proposed ‘stylistic’ change in the formulation of the indicator:
At least 35% of the beneficiaries of each regional office, except Tbilisi, come from the remote areas/municipalities without SESA offices. If
we calculate the persons receiving services in accordance with the NSM as the beneficiaries (clients) of the regional office and take them as the basis for the calculation, then we have a number that can be easily controlled by the SESA. On the other hand,
35% of the beneficiaries from the remote areas/municipalities could be quite a big number if
beneficiaries means recipients of TSA registered as jobseekers on the WorkNet. This number would also include those persons who are not able to work (or maybe don’t want to). Moreover, since the regional office has no possibility to force them to show
up and claim its services, it could become difficult to comply with the Indicator.

To get a better picture on the distribution of beneficiaries it would be useful to have information on the number of TSA recipients in the regions and the locations of the regional offices. If the relation between the
population of the municipality with the regional office and the remaining area can be taken as a guide for an estimation, then we could expect that between 70 and 90% of TSA recipients of a region come from remote areas/municipalities. (Adjara with some 52%
of the population living outside Batumi is an exception.) I will do some calculations also related to the regional labour force and unemployed during this morning and send them to you. But it would be best to have the figures of TSA recipients according to
regions and locations of the regional offices.

I’m not sure how much time we will have to make a final proposal to the EU Delegation, but with the statistics on ‘jobseekers’ according to the WorkNet we could hammer out a well-founded proposal over the weekend. Please
let me know what you think about this.

Best regards,

Heinrich
