Project ‘NIPA 2.0: Digital Transformation and Analysis in Support of Social Dialogue’

The implementation of Project No. BG05SFPR002-1.033-0001-C01 ‘NIPA 2.0: Digital Transformation and Analysis in Support of Social Dialogue’, funded under the Human Resources Development Programme 2021–2027, has commenced. The beneficiary of the project is the National Institute for Conciliation and Arbitration (NIPA), while the National Statistical Institute (NSI) is a project partner.

The project will contribute to the development and implementation of modern, evidence-based policies in the field of industrial relations, while also addressing the growing need to modernise NIPA’s institutional infrastructure.

The activities envisaged under the project will be implemented jointly in partnership with the NSI and the Executive Agency ‘General Labour Inspectorate’. The Ministry of Labour and Social Policy is an associated partner in the project.

The expected outcome is to facilitate decision-making, policy planning and the effective resolution of labour disputes by providing the possibility to quickly access information on collective labour agreements and labour disputes. The activities planned under the project will deliver a reliable, secure and functional digital solution that meets the requirements of modern e-government.
