The Employment and Human Resources Development Operational Programme 2000-2006 is comprised of both NDP funded and ESF funded projects/measures targeted at a regional level, not at county level. Monitoring and reporting of activity both physical and financial is done at regional level, that is, at Border, Midlands and Western (BMW) and Southern and Eastern (S&E) Regional levels. Therefore, little data is available on projects at the county level itself through this Programme.

The same applies in the case of the Productive Sector Operational Programme, which is also managed by this Department. Funding of the projects was targeted at regional level, not at county level and monitoring and reporting was again done at Regional level — BMW and S&E.
