HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation leads the RECONOMY program, a regional initiative for inclusive economic development across 11 countries in the Eastern Partnership and Western Balkans. The program’s thematic focus is tailored to each region's dynamics but is unified by a core vision: fostering inclusive, green economic opportunities for disadvantaged women and youth by addressing their shared challenges and potentials. Under RECONOMY, a partnership with the Swedish Public Employment Service aims to enhance digital services within Bosnia and Herzegovina's public employment system. A central project is the creation of an intuitive online platform to boost jobseeker engagement through career planning and professional orientation tools. This platform will enable data-driven self-reflection and career development. Developed and integrated with support from the Swedish and Brcko District PES, it is designed to improve user access and system functionality, thereby strengthening overall employment services

MSA conducted a DCED audit for the program, assessing RECONOMY's Monitoring and Results Measurement (MRM) system against DCED standards to identify gaps and areas for improvement. The audit covered up to three interventions across three economic subsectors, with a comprehensive pre-audit to ensure a holistic and targeted assessment.
