Public cooperation

Public cooperation takes shape in various NL EVD International programmes.
Their objectives are manifold:

• assisting the public sector in various countries;
• encouraging public cooperation between the Netherlands public sector and public institutions abroad;
• stimulating public-private cooperation both in the Netherlands and abroad.

The projects developed under these programmes can be purely public sector-oriented or aimed at strengthening public-private partnerships.
The scope of the projects developed under these programmes is therefore very divers. Focussing for example on:

• the EU enlargement process;
• cooperation in the area of educational reform in Central and Eastern European countries;
• human resource development cooperation with China.
