HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT IN THE EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURHOOD REGION -- COUNTRY BY COUNTRY [18 September 2006]

[full-text, 71 pages]

The ETF has launched a new publication titled "Human Resources Development in the European Neighbourhood Region ­ Country by Country". It brings together the latest information that the ETF has compiled on the situation of vocational education and training in the countries that will be covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) starting from 2007.

The paper aims to promote the contribution that investment in human resources development (HRD) can make in achieving the goals of the ENP. It draws on the expertise the European Training Foundation has built up as an active promoter of human resources development in neighbouring countries over the period 1995-2005 and outlines some of the lessons learned from the investment made by the EU and other donors in the ENP countries over the last decade. It is also intended to inform the forthcoming debate on the European Neighbourhood Partnership Instrument (ENPI) in the EU institutions and give recommendations as to how the measures proposed in the draft instrument can be taken forward in order to ensure effective and sustainable reform and what contribution a specialised agency, such as the ETF, could make to this process.

The publication presents an overview of the social and economic context of each of the ENPI countries, an analysis of the education system and a short review of the main initiatives in education and training carried out by international donors in the country. Each country chapter also puts forward suggestions for future donor investments in the HRD sector.
