DARYA - A new era for education and training in Central Asia

The EU’s first ever regional project supporting young people in Central Asia, DARYA, through opportunities that foster inclusion and labour market skills was signed on 13 June. The project will be implemented by the European Training Foundation over the next five years (2022– 27). 

The aim of the project is to help with the post-COVID recovery in Central Asia by developing the quality and inclusiveness of education, training and employment systems in the region. The project also promotes participatory and inclusive dialogue and cooperation mechanisms in each of the five countries as well as at regional level. The ETF will be working closely with key stakeholders in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, building a system approach for better skills provision and employability for young people in the short and medium-term at local, regional and cross-country level.
