The specific objective of the RECASEB programme is to improve the institutional framework of the energy sector in Benin at regulatory and organisational level and to support/encourage reforms. These reforms must make the sector more attractive for public and private investment, including new production units, particularly via renewable sources and the extension of the network for greater access to electricity services throughout the country, particularly in rural areas.
The components of the RECASEB programme are organised around three main pillars:
- Capacity building of the energy sector;
- The development of management, supervisory and decision-making tools for the steering and implementation of the strategic thrusts;
- Information and documentation to the parties of the sector and the general public (civil society, consumers, etc.).

Access to energy and especially to a reliable, affordable electricity service, is a condition for sustainable economic development and poverty reduction. The population's access to energy in Togo was limited to 30% in 2014. For the same year, the level of technical (on networks) and non-technical loss was around 18%. This project aims to help face these challenges. Its overall objective is to contribute to reducing poverty by fostering the achievement of the objectives of the Sustainable Energy for All initiative (SE4All). The specific objective is to improve the living conditions of Togo's populations by working towards improved access to modern, sustainable energy services and helping to improve the sector's institutional framework to facilitate future investments, including from the private sector.   
The technical assistance to the PASET-1 programme is organised around two main pillars:
1) improvement of the institutional framework of Togo's electricity sector;
2) capacity building of the main energy actors.

The Observatory’s main mission is to evaluate the overall monitoring and professional integration system of higher education institutions, in order to propose an appropriate strategy for the sustainable integration of young graduates. Ginger SOFRECO's support is organised around a diagnostic of the existing system, the sharing of a strategic vision for a better positioning of the Observatory, and support for an operational action plan with a view to sustainability.

The objectives of this project are to provide the main beneficiaries in Morocco (DFP/MIEPEEC and ANCLA) and the Delegation of the European Union (DUE) in Rabat with a holistic system defining the general guidelines for Morocco, as well as the management methods for providing lifelong learning.

The objective of this intervention is to strengthen the assessment of learning in education through: 1) the training of Unified National Testing test item developers; 2) the development of at least 5,000 Unified National Testing test items and manuals for test development and testing procedures; and 3) capacity building for National Training Centre specialists in the preparation and organisation of test checks.

The overall objective of our services is to assist the Belize Compact Development Team (BCDT) – Government of Belize in designing a cohesive Education Project, intended to address the core problem identified in the Education Concept Note developed by the BCDT, specifically by: (i) evaluating the soundness, relevance, feasibility and sustainability of the strategic approach proposed in the Concept Note for the future Education Project, (ii) making recommendations on the strengthening of the Design Document, (iii) conducting assessments of key aspects of the education system to inform a more detailed design of the Project, and (iv) preparing a proposal for Terms of Reference for project implementation.

The overall objective of the study is to generate more detailed information for a better understanding of the conditions for implementing the future Agricultural Technical Vocational Education and Training (ATVET) enhancement project. This information should lead to the AFD and EU Boards’ approval for the financing of the project. The study is to be shared and jointly conducted with the main institutional and private sector players of ATVET, to support the agricultural vocational training sector in Nigeria, with the inclusion of a cross-cutting gender dimension.

The objective of the mission is to contribute to the appraisal process that AFD is conducting in partnership with the Ministry of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education and the Technical Committee for Reforms of the Ministry of Finance and to outline and give content to Component 1. This component is designed to improve the management of the end of teachers' careers, which would be carried out in the form of a refinancing of public expenditure made by the State on the basis of in-depth discussions with the actors involved.
