Mason. The team would like to thank György Molnár from the Institute of Economics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences for his contributions to Section 6. The team would also like to express its gratitude to peer reviewers Joost de Laat, Maria Beatriz Orlando, Katalin Szatmári, and Andor Ürmös for their helpful inputs and technical comments during the review process. The team is particularly grateful to counterparts from the Government of Hungary, in particular Csaba Andor and László Ulicska from the Ministry of Human Capacities and Katalin Ferdinandy from the Türr István Training and Research Institute. Their guidance, support, and comments were invaluable during the preparation of this report. The team was further supported by Isadora Nouel, András Tamás Torkos, and Andrei Zambor, and editorial work was provided by Lauri Scherer. This report has greatly benefited from several rounds of consultations with local-level Hungarian stakeholders (mayors, municipality employees, managers of social inclusion projects, civil society representatives) in a number of Hungarian locations. Annex II of this report provides a detailed account of visits, locations, and a list of stakeholders who were consulted. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms ÁEEK National Health Care Service Centre ASI Agency for Social Inclusion BM Ministry of Interior CEP county equality program CSO Central Statistical Office EC European Commission EFOP Human Resources Development OP ERDF European Regional Development Fund ESF European Social Fund ESIF European Structural and Investment Funds EU European Union GINOP Gazdaságfejlesztési és Innovációs Operatív Program (Economic Development and Innovation Operational Program) HRDOP Human Resources Development Operational Program KLIK Klebelsberg Institutional Management Center (Klebelsberg Institutional Management Center) LEP Local Equal Opportunity Plan LLTK Lechner Lajos Knowledge Center LSCA local strategies of comprehensive approach M&E monitoring and evaluation MfNE Ministry for National Economy MHC Ministry of Human Capacities MIS Management Information System MoI Ministry of Interior NAPSI National Action Plan on Social Inclusion NEET neither in employment education or training 5 NGM Ministry for National Economy NRP National Reform Program NSIS National Social Inclusion Strategy OP Operational Program OPGRC Office of the Plenipotentiary of the Government for Roma Communities ORÖ National Roma Self-Government PARSP Post-Accession Rural Support
