| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The current employment services (ES) system no longer meets needs, which have risen markedly with the rate of rural?urban migration. Processes, information systems, and staffing levels and capacity are inadequate to meet current needs and urgently need to be reviewed and strengthened. An improved ES system, when effectively implemented, will deliver significant benefits. | ||||
