The project focused on improving the existing policy documents and programs so set the framework for operational changes initiated in parallel. While the policy environment was analyzed, discussed and fed with lessons learnt from the operational level, the project capacitated the major employment/labor and start-up stakeholders including Ministries and the Start-ups and created structures for cooperation to formalize the reforms. The approach to set up official steady working groups comprised of representatives of MLSP and its agencies and departments/divisions, private sector and professional associations for each outcome created additional synergies and lead to valuable networks between them.
