This pre-feasibility study aims to support the University of Nairobi to develop its science and engineering complex. It must formulate its future directions, which will be fine-tuned by a feasibility study. At this stage, the study includes a general diagnosis of the demand for competences on the labour market and of those existing, and a forecast of future competences in specific fields. It also includes a roadmap for the establishment of the complex, covering infrastructures, equipment, human resources and the training to be delivered.

The Project to Support the Training of Human Resources in the Industrial and Construction Fields (PAFRIBTP) involves modernising the public initial and continuing training system in close partnership with the private sector. The objective is to propose training attuned to the requirements of the market, professionals and businesses. It targets secondary schools, training centres and universities to support them in the following areas: (i) renovation of infrastructures, (ii) equipment supply, (iii) improvement and development of training programmes in relation to the identified industrial sub-sectors, and (iv) training support for trainers.

PAFISAM aims to support the integration of young people and to provide a qualified workforce for Guinea's growth sectors, namely mining and agriculture and the associated upstream and downstream activities, by setting up effective initial and continuing training solutions and measures fostering the transition to employment.
In this framework, SOFRECO is providing METFPET with a team of experts in training design and equipment procurement to reform 18 vocational training paths at BTS [higher technician's diploma] and CAP [vocational training certificate] levels, in the industrial and agricultural fields.

The purpose of this project is to strengthen the quality of the pre-university education sector by:
(i) building capacities at local/municipal level to establish sustainable teacher professional development at school level;
(ii) introducing a teacher mentoring system in Kosovo's school system;
(iii) establishing a criteria-based and transparent teacher recruitment system.

This project’s specific objectives will be to amend, link and consolidate the intervention methods of each actor of the training funding scheme:
Component 1: Build professional organisations’ (PO) capacities – training demand
Component 2: Upgrade vocational training centres – training offer
Component 3: Capacity building of the FONAP (national vocational training support fund).

The general objective of this assignment is to use M&E tools and quantitative and qualitative surveys (EGRA/ESMA) to generate evidence of the impact of additional funding on:
i) the enrolment and retention of vulnerable pupils in schools;
ii) the academic success of vulnerable pupils;
iii) school governance with a view to political advocacy for more inclusive, better quality education in DR Congo.

The objective of the EU Programme to harmonise training, employment and qualifications (AFEQ) is to strengthen the role of businesses and economic sectors in vocational and university training and in the process of integration of young people into the labour force. The project has an implementation period of 36 months starting from 15 September 2017. The Programme Support Unit ensures the implementation of the activities at central level and in 7 pilot wilayas.
