  1. Presentation on Multi-beneficiary ongoing IPA Projects Given by EU Delegation to the Republic of Serbia

  2. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education: How do we do it? New IPA Multi-Beneficiary (MB) programming process for the period of 2011-2013 Sector-based approach: the so-called Working Groups (a total number of 8) were set up in 2009 with the participation of all Beneficiaries, international organisations and other relevant stakeholders.

  3. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education: How do we do it? Programming is done within this frame for the period of 2011-2013, keywords are active participation and ownership of the Beneficiaries with view of ensuring an inclusive process of needs assessment and priority setting.

  4. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education How do we do it? Example: the Working Group on Human Rights, Minorities and Vulnerable Groups was set up in October 2009 and it outlined key areas of intervention within the field (the NIPAC offices nominated the representatives from each Beneficiary).

  5. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education How do we do it? A Sector Plan on Human Rights, Minorities and Vulnerable Groups was also drafted in 2010 to elaborate the details. Concrete projects to be adopted under the various programming years as of 2011 are in line with the main conclusions of the Working Group and with the strategy described by the Sector Plan. At a later step, expert working groups can also be set up to draft the respective project fiches with the participation of all Beneficiaries.

  6. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education How do we do it? This is the case with the Inclusive Education programme to be adopted under IPA MB 2012. Besides the Beneficiary consultations internal (within EC) and external consultations (with other institutions, international organisations, donors, stakeholders) are also conducted.

  7. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education B. What do we do?

  12. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education C. Wider context: Increased importance of education (EU 2020) Strategic thinking on the future of cooperation in the field of higher education (programme generation post-2013) Education flagged as a topic in external policies (diplomacy, relations with international organisations, etc.) Enhanced cooperation between EAC and ELARG Inclusive Education (programme to be adopted under IPA MB 2012) Education: essential component of long-term and sustainable solutions to various challenges the EU faces at the policy-level

  13. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education D. An example: the upcoming IPA MB 2012 Inclusive Education programme This strategic need was flagged in the conclusions of the Working Group on Human Rights, Minorities and Vulnerable Groups and it is detailed further in the respective Sector Plan It should also be seen in the context of enhanced ELARG-EAC cooperation (as a back to back event to the Tempus 20 Anniversary Conference in Belgrade in March 2011, the EU Delegation hosted a meeting with the participation of several ministers of education from the Beneficiaries, and the idea of this upcoming regional programme was positively received) The European Training Foundation (ETF) was entrusted with the task of coordinating the preparatory work

  14. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education D. An example: the upcoming IPA MB 2012 Inclusive Education programme ETF set up a regional expert group in inclusive education that met in Turin (4-5 April 2011). A Task Force was also set up then with 1 representative from each Beneficiary to coordinate the work and ensure support of all stakeholders at the national level The country desks at DG ELARG, DG EAC, the NIPAC offices, EU delegations were informed on the process launched ETF drafted the very first version of the concept note for this programme, that has been sent out for comments to the regional network of experts and task force members The idea will also be presented at the IPA Coordinators meeting on 16-17 June in Brussels

  15. Regional policies and programmes in the area of education D. An example: the upcoming IPA MB 2012 Inclusive Education programme Based on all comments ETF will draft the project logframe and will further consult on it There will be a second regional meeting on October 23-26 in Ohrid organized by ETF to synthesize input on the first draft project fiche A first draft project fiche shall be submitted to DG ELARG in autumn 2011 Internal and external consultations led by the Regional Programmes unit will commence upon submission
