The Central Register of Evaluators (ΕΜΑ) was set up in 1998 at the Ministry of Employment and Social Protection (Ministerial Decision 106543/16.4.1998) and has since then served as a central record of experts in the human resources sector in Greece. The ΕΜΑ is an important tool in the process of documented and objective evaluation of the quality of interventions being co-financed by the European Social Fund in Greece.

Evaluators on the Register are invited to evaluate the proposals of agencies for projects that aim to develop the country’s human resources, as soon as they are submitted for approval and finance from the European Social Fund and the Greek state. Such projects include training programmes, employment actions, programmes for the social inclusion of vulnerable groups and so on.

The Register is maintained through a computerized system operating since 2001 at the ESF Actions Coordination and Monitoring Authority (ΕΥSΕΚΤ), the competent body for running the Register (Joint Ministerial Decision 67775/2493/13.10.2008). A five-member Standing Advisory Committee is responsible for selecting and entering evaluators on the register.
