The coordinating role of ISFOL All Italian OPs have their own Information System for collecting data ISFOL supports the local/regional level to select the correct information that have to be sent to the Central Monitoring System (MonitWeb) National Monitoring Working Group: periodically Isfol meets the Managing Autorities of ESF OPs in order to discuss common issues and to improve the implementation of data into MonitWeb Isfol – Sistemi e Servizi formativi
Final-user role of ISFOL As Technical Assistance Agency of the Ministry of Labour, ISFOL has access to Monitweb As read-only user, we can surf in the “official area” where we can query/extract the data “validated” by ESF OPs We can do that by using a Business Objects Infoview (Datamart) The Datamart’s tools allow us to organize the information in “queries” that we save in our own web site Isfol – Sistemi e Servizi formativi
Querying Monitweb The variables set of Monitweb is established in the “Data Exchange Protocol”, with the agreement of all the actors involved with ESF We have stored several queries for all the OPs co-financed by the ESF using the variables codes in the “Data Exchange Protocol” In this way we can use them everytime a data update occurs in MonitWeb, just renewing them Isfol – Sistemi e Servizi formativi
ESF data for local usage micro data level Data are related both with projects and participants(about 400.000 projects at the end of 2011) aggregate data level we can save the results of the queries in local area so we can treat them to figure out the progress of the OPs co-financed by the ESF at national level Isfol – Sistemi e Servizi formativi
Statistical treatment of data • We generally use STATA software in order to: • merge all the files obtained from the queries • create a structured database • check the reliability and the consistency of the data • produce statistical analysis Isfol – Sistemi e Servizi formativi
