Entrepreneurial learning in BiH education systems – Phase II

Bosna and Herzegovina

The Contracting Authority is the Delegation of the European Union to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The main beneficiary of the intervention will be the Ministry of Civil Affairs of BiH – Sector for Education, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations at State level. Further beneficiaries include the Agency for Pre-school, primary and Secondary Education; RS Ministry of Education and Culture, RS Institute for Adult Education, the Federal Ministry of Education, the Department of Education of Brcko District, RS Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining, the Federal ministry of Development, Entrepreneurship and Crafts, RS Agency for Development of SMEs, and other relevant institutions.

The project is expected to contribute to an increased employability of the labour force by reducing the gap between the systems of education and the labour market. Furthermore, it will assist in developing human resources and institutional capacities in entrepreneurial learning, thus increasing overall competitiveness. More specifically, the project will aim at introducing entrepreneurial skills throughout the formal education system in BiH, and create, in cooperation with the body responsible for the qualification framework in the country, a system for the validation of skills and knowledge acquired through informal and non-formal education. Moreover, the project will strengthen the cooperation between the education system and the business community in BiH by creating, developing and sustaining links between schools and the business sector. The project will start in January 2014 and terminate in January 2016. It will be implemented by the EPRD-led consortium, in partnership with GOPA and OSB Consulting.
