Indicator 4 - Partnerships and funding
1.4. Indicator 4 – Partnerships and funding
The 2011 Council Recommendation “Youth on the move” assigns to countries the objective of developing the international learning mobility of IVET learners through supporting partnerships between private and public actors, and providing mobility incentives to participants and stakeholders.
The indicator for monitoring the development of partnerships and funding in countries is based on the following four criteria:
- ountries have a process for setting up countrywide policy targets (whether quantitative or qualitative) in the area of Partnerships and funding;
- Countries have in place actions to
- Support companies and institutions in the creation of mobility partnerships and networks;
- Fund the international learning mobility of IVET learners;
- Provide companies and IVET institutions involved in organising mobility projects with financial and/or non-financial support;
- The existing partnerships and funding actions are coordinated countrywide so as to ensure their consistency, convergence and effectiveness;
- The existing partnerships and funding actions are subject to evaluation oriented to improving the next generation of this policy strand.
The table below presents the indicator in terms of criteria and benchmarks.

A process is in place
The country has taken actions that cover the following three dimensions:
- Support companies and institutions in the creation of mobility partnerships and networks;
- Fund the international learning mobility of IVET learners;
- Provide companies and IVET institutions involved in organising mobility projects with financial and/or non-financial support.
Complete countrywide coordination of actions in all dimensions is ensured through a countrywide framework which is set by regulations and/or arrangements agreed between players
The existing partnerships and funding actions (or at least some of them) are evaluated: not only are they monitored (e.g. through reports, audits, user surveys, etc.), but also recommendations for future improvement are set up, implemented and followed-up along time for (re)adjustment as necessary
4
The country has taken measures in only two of the three dimensions
Coordination of actions is incomplete (elements of coordination exist, but no complete countrywide coordination of all players or actions in a given dimension; or not all dimensions are coordinated). However, plans for setting up complete coordination are being prepared.
The existing partnerships and funding actions (or at least some of them) are monitored (e.g. through reports, audits, user surveys, etc.). But there is no systematic process of setting up recommendations for future improvement, implementing them, and following them up along time for (re)adjustment. However, a plan to set up such a systematic process has been at least initiated, e.g. in the form of preliminary preparation, initial debate / consultation / design, etc.
3
The country has taken measures in only one of the three dimensions.
Incomplete coordination of actions / dimensions. There are no plans to make the coordination complete.
The existing partnerships and funding actions (or at least some of them) are monitored. But there is no systematic process of setting up recommendations oriented towards future improvement, and there are no plans to develop any.
2
No such process exists but there is an intention to set up one
The country has not taken any measures in any of the three dimensions. However, preliminary preparation (initial debate, consultation, design, planning, etc.) to develop at least one measure has begun
No countrywide coordination of actions, but preliminary preparation (initial debate, consultation, design, planning, etc.) to develop one has begun
The existing partnerships and funding actions are not monitored. A plan to develop a monitoring or evaluation process has been at least initiated, e.g. in the form of preliminary preparation, initial debate / consultation / design, etc.
1
No such process exists and there is no intention to set up any
The country has not taken any measures in any of the dimensions, and no measure is in preparation.
No countrywide coordination of actions, and there are no plans to set up any
The existing partnerships and funding actions are not monitored, and there is no plan to develop any monitoring or evaluation process.
