| Project Detail |
The 3rd Indicative Cooperation Program has retained as concentration sectors in Burkina Faso: sustainable management of natural resources; education, technical education and vocational training; And new information and communication technologies. In this context, the continuation of support from BKF/018 is planned through the new BKF/026 “Support for the implementation of the Sectoral Policy for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (APOSE/EFTP). The BKF/026 is a contribution to joint support from the Luxembourg, Austrian, Swiss, Monegasque and French Cooperations through the French Development Agency, for the implementation of the TVET policy. These technical and financial partners (PTF) entrusted the lead in formulating the support to LuxDev. Prior to the formulation, a diagnosis of the capacities of the main entities in charge of the implementation of the national TVET policy (PN) was carried out. At the end of 2017, the Burkinabè government developed a three-year 2018-2020 action plan for PN/TVET. It revolves around three programs aimed at improving access to TVET (program 1), improving its quality (program 2) and strengthening its management (program 3). BKF/026 will consist of support for the most relevant actions of the three programs of this three-year rolling action plan, and which are able to contribute to the achievement of the specific objectives set out therein. The Technical and Financial Support Document has been prepared and validated by the stakeholders. After examination of the document by the MAEE, the execution warrant was issued to LuxDev in August 2019. The main orientations of the support relate to: the realization of training actions leading to qualifications and certification with high employability and rather of short duration; support for the functional and territorial decentralization of vocational training; And the development of partnerships with the private sector. In terms of implementation modality, national execution is envisaged through the Ministry of Youth and the Promotion of Youth Entrepreneurship (MJPEJ) and the chosen instrument is the special treasury allocation account ( CAST). This CAST account will feed accounts opened for the MJPEJ and the Support Fund for Vocational Training and Apprenticeship (FAFPA). The resources will be made available to other actors (consular chambers and employers) via the FAFPA through agreements. The various pilot actors will benefit from significant support in terms of capacity building and will be accompanied through a consistent technical assistance system. The technical assistance system, expert appraisals, financial supervision, audits and evaluations will be managed by LuxDev on behalf of the TFPs. The start of the support is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2019. |
