Role of LPE - ESF absorption
LPE is important in creating an environment to
better access to EU funding:
The management of the EU Funds, requires:
• regional approaches in human resource
development,
• a strategic planning,
• a partnership oriented consultation process
involving all relevant labor market
stakeholders at regional level,
• an adequate absorption capacity
• and an efficient implementation of the
priorities/measures (National OP HRD)
