About the NESF

The NESF was established to provide advice to the Government on policies to achieve greater equality and social inclusion by analysing, monitoring and evaluating relevant programmes and policies.

In January 2007, the NESF was placed on a statutory footing as part of the National Economic & Social Development Office (NESDO), together with the National Economic & Social Council (NESC) and the National Centre for Partnership and Performance (NCPP). Subsequently, in April 2010 the NESF was dissolved.
