ABIDJAN, 17 September 2015 - The European Union (EU) will contribute an additional EUR 16.8 million in support of the efforts by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to rehabilitate and make fully operational 11 vocational training centres and agricultural schools in Côte d'Ivoire. The financial contribution was confirmed today during a signing ceremony held in the capital, Abidjan. The project, worth in total EUR 29 million and being implemented by UNIDO, supports the vocational training system reform in Côte d'Ivoire. Since its inception in 2012, UNIDO, in cooperation with the Ministry of Employment, Social Affairs and Vocational Training, has provided over 4,000 young people with certified training in line with the demand of the labour market, and helped with the capacity-building of governmental officials and management personnel in pilot vocational centres. Jean-Francois Valette, the EU Ambassador to Côte d'Ivoire, highlighted the importance of expanding this project in order to further decentralize employment and vocational training, as well as support the participation of women in vocational training. "By helping improve the vocational training system and supporting the professional and social integration of the trainees, this project will pave the way for a reform of professional education in the country," said Marlen Bakalli, who manages the project from UNIDO's side.

Alors que le Secteur intensifie ses efforts pour aider les États membres à terminer les travaux inachevés de l'Éducation pour tous, et à élaborer l'agenda international pour l'éducation post-2015, il a de nouveau souligné l'importance à long terme du partage des connaissances, de la création de réseaux de pairs, des communautés de pratiques et du transfert des ressources et de l'expertise entre les pays du Sud qui partagent les mêmes inquiétudes et perspectives. Afin de suivre et de faciliter ces initiatives, un répertoire de bonnes pratiques au sein des différents domaines thématiques de l'éducation, ainsi qu'un aperçu des principaux mécanismes de soutien du secteur aux niveaux mondial et régional, ont été publiés sur le site Web du Secteur de l'éducation.
