    6. employment promotion programmes for specific population groups (indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, migrant workers, members of demobilized armed forces, unemployed youths, rural women and those in the informal economy, etc.)?
  2. Does the national budget for the current/future financial year include allocations earmarked for ALMPs?
  3. Does the UNDAF of your country include elements of ALMPs?
  4. Do your country’s principal development partners prioritize ALMPs?
