Programme description
Investment programme will increase the human capital and improve the social environment in Hungary
Representing over 11% of all EU financial support for Hungary in 2014-2020, the Human Resource Development Operational Programme (OP) will implement 2.6 billion euros of EU funding, 65.4 % from the European Social Fund (ESF) and 34.6 % from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
In the field of human capital, Hungary faces one of the biggest backlogs regarding long-term effect structural development factors. This OP has therefore been designed for contributing to address social and demographic challenges. The main interventions cover social inclusion, strengthening social cohesion and the role of the family, health promotion and prevention, improving the quality of public education, increasing the number of people who have tertiary education and strengthening the staff of social institutions.
The various instruments of this programme will contribute to create social cohesion related to economic growth and to achieve Hungary's employment development goals. Involving disadvantaged groups, Roma, and other socially deprived groups living in segregation, this programme can set off fundamental changes in the social environment of Hungary. Through public education and health promotion programmes it can also contribute to a better quality of life.
