An important aspect of NOA’s work is the publication of a series of five National Report Cards (NRCs), which have been created to serve as a benchmarking tool to aid in the development and implementation of National Action Plans to counter antisemitism in Member States. They support the 2018 EU Council Declaration on the Fight against Antisemitism and the 2020 EU Council Declaration on Mainstreaming the Fight against Antisemitism across Policy Areas. and take the measure of how well participating countries are doing compared to the goals set by the Declarations.

NRCs have been published for Belgium, Hungary, The Netherlands, Austria, and Italy. Research is currently being expanded to Estonia and Spain.

The NOA Report Cards Library

National Report Cards include contextualised, summarised and scored indicators based on available evidence with recommendations resulting from a process of stakeholder engagement. The main target group of the National Report Cards are national and regional policy-makers. Another target group are civil society organisations for whom the indicators can shape their own national advocacy and programmatic strategies. Finally, researchers from many disciplines are welcome to make use of these Report Cards to evaluate the implementation and impact of policies and programmes that counter antisemitism and foster Jewish life.

The National Report Card Methodology examines areas like culture, education, hate crime, hate speech, Holocaust remembrance, intercultural and interfaith dialogue, media, religious freedom, security, and sport. You can find NOA National Report Card Methodology explained in detail here.

The Report Cards can serve to measure EU Member States’ policies through hundreds of indicators based on international standards. These indicators have been developed by experts and by the NOA project partners. We gather data, we interview experts and stakeholders, we identify missing data, and we provide a justification of each country’s score.

In order to facilitate mutual learning and highlight good practices, we organise workshops, national conferences, and a European conference.
