This workstream supports the measurement of jobs impacts by enabling consistent and evidence-based jobs measurement strategies at the project, sector, and country levels.

Across these levels, the workstream:

• Deepens guidance on measurement for jobs-themed projects, and
• Helps to estimate jobs created from new or additional investments and operations. It also tracks the evolution of structural change and labor markets at the economy-wide level.

The MDTF also improves the impact assessment of public and private initiatives on qualitative and quantitative dimensions of jobs including:

• Number of jobs gained
• The quality of jobs gained, and
• The inclusiveness of jobs gained

By implementing these initiatives, the MDTF will provide policymakers with improved information on expected benefits of interventions.

The Partnerships workstream will facilitate knowledge sharing and promote innovative solutions to emerging jobs challenges. It will operate though three mechanisms:

1) Working with the private sector to develop multi-stakeholder partnerships. This will build on the experience of successful initiatives such as the Let’s Work and Solutions for Youth Employment

2) Creating a learning community that will bring together clients, donor governments and decision makers that are working on the jobs agenda, and

3) Implementing the Innovation Challenge, which supports diagnoses and solutions to jobs challenges through country-based innovation challenge competitions
