The overall objective is to increase the benefits generated by the human development aspects/components of EU programmes on children and youth, at the global, regional and country levels, by facilitating the involvement of young people in EU external action. This is implemented through two outcomes : i) an increase in the effectiveness of EU support programmes as they relate to children and youth participation and empowerment at the global, regional and country levels, and ii) an increase in institutional youth engagement in EU policy development and implementation, particularly for advancing the roll-out of the Global Gateway strategy in line with the Youth Action Plan and EUDs’ priorities, by supporting youth-led initiatives via Youth Sounding Boards (YSBs), etc.

These two training courses, each lasting ten days in Clichy, France, aim to strengthen the capacities of a group of seven officials and senior managers from the Ministries of Agriculture and Livestock, as part of the country's adoption of the ''programme-based budgeting'' approach and the implementation of the SYSALIM project, funded by the European Union and implemented by Enabel.
By the end of the two sessions, participants should have mastered the conceptual and regulatory foundations of programme budgeting, as well as the tools for planning and programming public investments (medium-term expenditure frameworks, annual performance programmes, logical frameworks and cost-benefit analyses of projects). In addition, practical exercises will enable participants to practise formulating and monitoring public investment projects aligned with budget programmes and performance indicators.

The purpose of this training course on the theme of “From financial control to budgetary control”, held in Clichy, France, was to strengthen the skills of six officials from the West African Development Bank, the Benin Ministry of the Interior and the Governorship of Lualaba Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
By the end of the training, participants had gained a deeper understanding of the new concepts guiding administrative reform aimed at standardising budgetary control worldwide, as well as a thorough grasp of the tools used and best practices to be implemented by budgetary controllers in each of the areas targeted by the reform.

The aim of the training course, held in Clichy, France, was to build the capacity of a team of eight civil servants from Madagascar's Ministry of Education in ''Inferential methods for analysing qualitative and quantitative data on learning outcomes''. Over the course of 10 days, the participants strengthened their capacity to analyse statistical data from school evaluation tests using inferential methods.

The mission, organised in Clichy, France, consisted of training six civil servants and managers from the Education and Training Projects Department of the Mauritanian Ministry of Economy and Finance on the theme of ''Public Investment Programming for budget programming''. Over a period of 10 days, participants strengthened their capacities to acquire a good understanding of the technical framework for investment programming, as well as the tools and methods needed for monitoring and evaluation within a programme budget, and more generally, decision-making support tools in this area.

This five-day tailor-made training course, held in Clichy, France, aimed to strengthen the skills of two female officials from Madagascar's Ministry of Economy and Finance, responsible for monitoring expenditure under the AFD-funded Common Education Fund, on the theme of ''Internal control within public bodies''.
At the end of the training, the participants strengthened their skills in expenditure control and benefited from personalised support in the form of an action plan designed to directly address the various issues identified in previous audit reports of the Common Education Fund.
