This paper aims to outline the contribution that investment in human resources development (HRD) can make in achieving the goals of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP).
This report provides an overview of the financing of vocational education and training in seven EU new Member States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Cyprus) and four candidate countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and, to a lesser extent, Croatia). Priorities and trends in education and training funding are analysed and the main issues and challenges highlighted.
In 2002 the European Training Foundation (ETF) launched a new peer review programme in the countries of South Eastern Europe that are preparing or already running EU funded CARDS2 projects in the field of VET. The programme is a follow-up to the thematic reviews of education policy carried out by the OECD during 2000 and 2001 and is funded from the ETF's own budget. In 2002 peer reviews were carried out in Albania, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, and Kosovo3, while peer reviews in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Romania and Turkey followed in 2003 and thereafter. The purpose of this peer review programme is to evaluate recent progress in VET policy development and to propose activities that could be undertaken to help to move the reform process forward. The ETF's peer reviews aim at both policy advice and capacity building in the region.
