The World Bank and the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) of Romania through the National Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training Development (NCTVETD) signed an Advisory Services Agreement for assistance in informed decision-making on investments in education infrastructure on March 31, 2016. The development objective of this Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS) is to strengthen the strategic and monitoring capacity of the MoNE to make informed decisions on investments in education infrastructure. Specifically, this RAS (i) supports the preparation of a draft Strategy for Infrastructure Investments in Education Institutions (SIIEI), and (ii) builds and enhances capacity within the MoNE for the preparation and monitoring of the National Strategy for Infrastructure Investments in Education Institutions (NSIIEI). The MoNE will prepare the government’s NSIIEI based on recommendations presented in the draft SIIEI developed under this RAS. The draft SIIEI comprises two documents: volume one – Strategic Framework for Investments in Education Infrastructure 2017-2023 (this document) and volume two – From Data to Investment Priorities: Using Evidence to Guide Strategic Decisions about Romania’s Education Infrastructure (a companion analytical report). The NSIIEI will be fundamental to inform decisions on investments in infrastructure, as well as to (i) increase the absorption of European Union Structural and Investment Funds for the 2014–2020 programming period, and (ii) to guide the utilization of funds from other sources available for the Government of Romania.
