Erasmus+ National Focal Points (ENFPs) are representatives of the education sector in countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas. The European Commission has been working since 2022 with countries in these regions to designate ENFPs.
Role
If you are from a country in one of these regions, the ENFP can help you find out about how you or your organisation can take part in Erasmus+.
The Commission supports ENFPs in this task, and to organise events to promote Erasmus+ and show what projects are doing.
Don't see your region here?
Your country is probably served by a National Erasmus+ Office in countries neighbouring the EU.
