Monitoring activities
1. Relevant data shall be collected, in particular by the Commission and by Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps national agencies and the EACEA, during the lifespan of the Programmes through a mix of sources, such as the IT tools supporting the implementation of the Programmes or the participant surveys.
2. Monitoring tasks will be carried out by the Commission with the help of the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps national agencies and the EACEA, and through ad-hoc analysis, while respecting the applicable data protection rules and procedures for processing sensitive personal data.
Inclusion action plans
1. As an integral part of their work programmes, the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps national agencies shall develop inclusion action plans, based on this framework of inclusion measures, and with particular attention to the specific challenges to access the Programmes within the national contexts. They shall report on a regular basis to the Commission on the progress made in the implementation of their inclusion action plan.
2. The Commission shall monitor the implementation of those inclusion action plans on a regular basis.
3. Where necessary, the Commission shall provide recommendations and observations to the national agencies in relation to their inclusion action plans, with a view to improve the design, implementation and follow-up of the content of these action plans.
Reporting
The Commission shall publish reports on a regular basis on the progress made in the implementation of the inclusion measures, in particular through the mid-term evaluation of the Programmes and annual reporting activities.
Complementarity and synergies
1. In the implementation of the inclusion measures, national agencies may ensure complementarity with other existing national measures for inclusion, in order to maximise the impact of these efforts for participants with fewer opportunities.
2. Synergies with other Union funds and national funds shall be sought, to allow for a greater impact and reinforced support to people with fewer opportunities.
