The overall objective of the programme is to promote the development of PNG’s human resource development in the education sector with the purpose (specific objective) being twofold.

  1. the Universal Basic Education Plan (UBE) supported and

  2. the sector-wide approach in education strengthened as expressed in the Education Sector Improvement Plan (ESIP).

    • ?  the EU added value (the extent to which the Action brings additional benefits to what would have resulted from Member States' interventions only);

    • ?  the coherence of the Action itself, with the EU strategy in the Education Sector in Papua New Guinea and with other EU policies and Member State Actions.
