The major implementation bottleck identified in December 2014 (the severe shortage of qualified specialists on the labor market and the related difficulties to recruit specialists for the services under the Project) has been resolved by revisions to the Project's Operational Manual. While this move has unblocked the recruitment of specialists, the services will not be implemented in their entirety due to the lack of adequate resources for the Project in 2015. On January 16, 2015 the Government of Bulgaria adopted a Decree for Implementation of the 2015 State Budget Act, whereby no spending is envisioned for the SIP in 2015. The insufficient resources are likely to prevent the Project from achieving its development objective and will hinder the proper evaluation of the services supported by the Project.
