Strengthening the governance of skills policies in Lithuania

Effective governance arrangements are enabling conditions for improving Lithuania’s performance in developing and using people’s skills. They facilitate co‑ordination across the whole-of-government, support the effective engagement of stakeholders, and enable the development of integrated information systems and co‑ordinated skills financing arrangements. This chapter reviews current practices and the performance of Lithuania’s skills governance. It then explores three opportunities to strengthen the governance of Lithuania’s skills policies: 1) increasing the capacity and co‑ordination of governmental and non‑governmental actors across the skills system 2) enhancing skills information and career guidance systems and practices and 3) ensuring well-targeted, sustainable and shared funding of Lithuania’s skills policies.
