Thibaut MONNIER | 03/12/2018
The VET Toolbox was launched in Accra on 27 September 2018. Hosted by British Council in partnership with GIZ, this event was an opportunity for the National Board for Professional and Technician Examinations (NABPTEX) but also for Ghanaian private sector representatives, for Eu delegation in Ghana and for British Council and GIZ representatives to discuss VET reforms and ways to enhance employability for all.Mr Robin Cordes, the Deputy Head of Cooperation, German Embassy, said youth unemployment remained a global problem and an agenda to be pursued as people considered it a time bomb.The world is already feeling the effects with wide spread agitations, unrests and the mass migration of youth from developing countries through dangerous means to Europe in search of jobs. No single country or institution could struggle alone. The implementation of the VET Toolbox will contribute to encourage networking, dialogue and exchange of experiences., he said.Mr Chikodi Onyemerela, the Acting Country Director for British Council, expressed the Bristish Council’s appreciation as one of the implementing agencies of the VET Toolbox, which would help to focus on evidence–based VET and labour market information and improve private sector invlovment in VET.Mr Chikodi Onyemerela added the VET Toolbox is supporting the reform process of the TVET system to built up a highly skilled local workforce for the local industry to contribute to the sustainable development of the country.It will improve the conditions for job creation and job access by supporting demand driven vocational education and training according to the need of the employers and the labour market., he said.Mr Andreas Hoth, VET Expert representing the VET Toolbox partnership during this launch, urged individuals, civil society, private and public institutions who needed o vocational education related support to apply.He said inadequate private sector engagement in such initiative was detrimental to achieving success, hence the VET Toolbox, which made available the much needed expertise and practical advice to partnering countries.VET policies such as labour market intelligence, private sector engagement and support would ensure the inclusiveness of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups for the total development of the workforce., he said.

Stepping into synergy: joint planning for capacity strengthening in the energy sector of Mozambique
Anke VANDEVELDE | 28/11/2018
By A.Van de Velde and E.Waeterloos, Enabel MaputoIn September 2018, national and provincial staff of the Mozambican partners Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (MIREME), Energy Regulating Authority (ARENE), and the Energy Fund FUNAE retreated with Enabel staff to a quiet venue outside Maputo for a first joint planning exercise.The support of Enabel to the energy sector in Mozambique dates back to 2010. The first Renewably Energy for Rural Development (RERD) project aimed at increasing access to water, solar and wind energy for off-grid applications in more remote rural areas. In 2017, when this collaboration came to an end, Belgium and Mozambique signed two new energy projects to contribute to the socioeconomic development of the rural areas through access to sustainable, affordable and environment-friendly energy for productive use. The first new project is the second phase of RERD, which aims to further invest in renewable off-grid energy systems and suitable management approaches. The other project envisages specifically to strengthen the capacity of MIREME at national and provincial level and of ARENE.Belgium is not the only and certainly not the major donor who supports the energy sector in Mozambique. In order to align the various donors’ contributions, Enabel organised in July 2018 a first workshop in collaboration with MIREME and the Energy Sector Working Group, the dialogue platform between donors and government. This workshop reviewed the sector’s challenges and needs, and updated information on donor commitments to stimulate the discussion around complementarity. The information presented was gathered and analysed by Enabel staff. This exercise was a first attempt at clarifying the priority needs and financial flows of MIREME, ARENE and FUNAE for the next years. It will be followed by other updating and coordination meetings within the Energy Sector Working Group. Enabel continues to engage itself as part of the capacity strengthening intervention to MIREME in such sharing of general information and tentative analyses to promote better alignment between donor projects and development support needs.The EuropeAid Toolkit for Capacity Development of 2010 views capacity development as an internal process of change which takes place within people, organisations or society to unleash, create, adapt, and strengthen their ability to manage their affairs successfully. Such change can take place in different fields such as knowledge, skills, management style, tools, or processes. The most important aspect, however, is that the change needs to happen within the organisations or individuals and needs to be owned by them. An external partner can merely support the process or help to create awareness and incentives for change. Such supportive role is indeed set aside for the Enabel project team. More than in a mere technical cooperation project, strong links and collaboration with the MIREME and ARENE are required to ensure that the process of change is aligned to the country’s agenda and strategy, and fully owned by the government partners. This implies that both cooperation partners need to find a harmonized tune and rhythm to act on. Stepping into the arena to establish the point of departure and seeking synergies in tunes was the objective of the joint planning and baseline workshop which took place from 13 to 14 September 2018.The workshop brought together staff from MIREME at the central level and from the provinces of Sofala, Manica and Zambezia, from ARENE, FUNAE and Enabel to discuss and update the logical and M&E framework of the capacity building project. Before tackling the update, Enabel’s Evert Waeterloos introduced the concepts of capacity development and Theory of Change (what is change, how to change and why?), as well as an elaborate SWOT analysis of the energy sector in Mozambique. This SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis was compiled from different secondary data sources[1] and supplemented with a CAF assessment to obtain a more profound analysis of the energy sector. CAF stands for the European Union’s Common Assessment Framework for public sector organisations and is a self-assessment and quality management instrument specifically tailored for and developed by the public sector itself. The CAF model allowed the analysis of the SWOT information according to the following ‘enablers’ or managerial practices of an organisation: leadership, people, strategy and planning, partnerships and resources, and processes[2]. Apart from these five enablers (‘how an organisation does what?’), CAF pays attention to four result-criteria (“what an organisation achieves”): key performance results, citizen or customer oriented results, human resources and social responsibility. Integrating a CAF perspective into the SWOT allows a better identification of the weight and role within the organisation of the various strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This combined SWOT-CAF analysis provided participants with an overview of the sector and organisations they work in in terms of what is going well?; which aspects will enable change?; what is not working?; which elements need to change?; and which roles are cut out for whom in this? The analysis functioned as a database and a mental reminder during the discussions on updating the logical framework and specification of priorities, activities, targets and stakeholders.Participants were divided in two discussion groups: one focussing more on a central level perspective, and one on a more provincial one. The topic of the discussion were the three result areas of the project: strengthen the capacity of the central level (MIREME), the provincial level (DIPREME) and the new energy regulator ARENE. The groups were asked to identify the most appropriate indicators, targets, activities, time frames and responsibles, and focused on the following aspects: harmonized planning, data and information, human resources, regulatory instruments, and technical assistance and consultancies. Although challenging in the beginning, eventually the discussions proved productive for most of the participants in terms of information about the ambit of capacity strengthening in general and the project in particular, exposure to other perspectives and ideas, and the push to further specify results and activities beyond the daily routine. This exercise provided a first update of the logical framework, and was further refined in October 2018 in the margins of the Climate Days in Brussels with the help of consultants from MDF and staff members from MIREME and Enabel.Capacity development viewed as an internal process of change within the partner towards a better ability to manage one’s affairs successfully, requires an embedded and gradual approach of change in areas such as behaviour, knowledge, tools and processes. In this first year, Enabel and its partners of the energy sector in Mozambique have stepped into the arena and started sounding and developing synergetic tunes through a donor alignment and joint planning and baseline workshop. These can be seen as the first steps in the capacity building process, with the next one the approval and implementation of the elaborated logical results and M&E framework. The latter foresees regular moments for feed-back and adaptation, since supporting change is a dynamic undertaking which can be hardly fixated within one moment in time of planning and monitoring.

Youth Union organizes grassroots democracy through social criticism
Marion FISCHER | 28/11/2018
The provincial Youth Union organization of Kon Tum provided a communication and action training for the group leaders of the pilot districts on 3rd and 4th November 2018. The how of making action plans for the work with communes and organizing citizens dialogues was developed out of the discussion of the role of the Youth Union in Vietnamese society. In interactive small groups and play-situations the participants trained their communication skills and group working skills for more efficient and active steering of the citizens dialogue and the social criticism of mass organizations towards the government units at district and commune levels. Intense discussions lead to the exposure of deficits of People's Councils and the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the work with mass organizations. The youth leaders developed strategies for better action planning, which should result in a more steady financing of their work. One way would be that the Youth Union takes over some work for the government organizations in direct services for the communes, which would yield some more income for the youth groups.

Deuxième édition de la Compétition Sarraounia : "Engageons-nous toutes et tous en faveur de l'égalité des chance dans l'enseignement secondaire"
Céline MEWISSEN | 26/11/2018
Le 24 novembre a eu lieu la deuxième édition de la compétition Sarraounia. Des attestations et prix ont été remis aux élèves les plus méritants des six collèges d’intervention du projet. L’exemple du collège de Malam Koira, établissement qui a vu la réussite de 100% des élèves filles inscrites au BEPC en 2018 a été salué par l’ensemble des participants. Les parents d’élèves, directeurs, comités de gestion des établissements scolaires et leaders religieux les plus engagés envers la scolarisation des filles dans leur communauté ont également été récompensés. Ainsi que le Directeur régional des enseignements secondaires (DRES) de Dosso l’a souligné, l’enjeu est double. Tout d’abord, stimuler l’émulation afin de pousser les élèves à se dépasser dans leurs études mais également et avant tout, améliorer la perception des parents et des communautés rurales sur les bénéfices de la scolarisation de la jeune fille. Il a appelé l’ensemble de la communauté à « s’engager en faveur de l’égalité des chances dans l’enseignement secondaire. Ainsi, en le faisant, nous n’apportons pas seulement notre contribution à l’atteinte des objectifs du Projet Sarraounia mais nous contribuons surtout à améliorer les perspectives d’avenir des jeunes filles scolarisées dans les six collèges ruraux pilotes. Je demeure convaincu que l’éducation constitue la meilleure opportunité pour ces filles elles-mêmes, leur famille et leur communauté.»

La Guinée et l’Union européenne font appel à Enabel pour la mise en œuvre du programme INTEGRA
Guido COUCK | 22/11/2018
Conakry, le 19 novembre 2018 - La République de Guinée et l’Union Européenne ont lancé le 19 novembre 2018 le Programme d’appui à l’intégration socio-économique des jeunes (INTEGRA) à Conakry.Le lancement a été présidé par le Premier Ministre de la République de Guinée, Dr Ibrahima Kassory Fofana. L’Union européenne était représentée par l'Ambassadeur de l'UE en Guinée, Josep Coll. De nombreux officiels étaient également conviés à cet évènement, parmi lesquels il convient de signaler la présence de la Directrice exécutive du Centre du commerce international (ITC), Arancha Gonzalez, du Directeur général d’Enabel, Jean Van Wetter, de l’Ambassadeur de la République fédérale d’Allemagne, Matthias Veltin.Face au phénomène migratoire qui soustrait au pays des pans importants de son capital de talent et de travail, le Gouvernement de Guinée considère la promotion de l’emploi jeune et la création d’opportunités économiques des priorités absolues. En collaboration étroite avec les autorités, l'Union européenne a décidé de financer d'un montant de 65 millions d'euros à travers son Fonds fiduciaire d’urgence en faveur de la stabilité et de la lutte contre les causes profondes de la migration irrégulière et du phénomène des personnes déplacées en Afrique (Fonds fiduciaire de l’UE pour l’Afrique) la mise en œuvre du Programme d'appui à l'intégration socio-économique des jeunes (INTEGRA). Aligné sur le Plan national de développement économique et social (PNDES) et sur les politiques sectorielles du Gouvernement guinéen, ce programme contribuera au développement économique de la Guinée pour favoriser l'insertion socio-professionnelle des jeunes guinéens. En appuyant les politiques nationales mises en place pour favoriser l’emploi jeune, le programme INTEGRA se veut une contribution pour amorcer des nouvelles dynamiques pour le développement socio-économique harmonieux de la République de Guinée.Initié conjointement par le Gouvernement guinéen et l'Union européenne, ce Programme créera des opportunités pour la jeunesse guinéenne à travers la préparation à la vie professionnelle dans les écoles, la réalisation d’infrastructures économiques en haute intensité de main d’œuvre, la formation professionnelle, la création d’emplois durables et le développement de l’entrepreneuriat en Guinée.INTEGRA poursuit les objectifs suivants :La promotion d’opportunités économiques et d’emplois durables à destination des jeunes en créant des emplois à travers le travail à haute intensité de main d’œuvre (HIMO) contribuant à la mise en œuvre des plans de développement au niveau local.Les jeunes auront également accès à une formation professionnelle de plusieurs mois et à une préparation à la vie professionnelle. Les apprenants sont ainsi professionnalisés dans les filières à fortes débouchées en Guinée tel que l’agriculture, la construction, ou encore les technologies de l’information et de la communication. Ces formations ont pour but d’améliorer leur employabilité sur le marché guinéen, contribuant ainsi à l’insertion socio-économique de ces jeunes à travers l’emploi.Promouvoir l’entreprenariat chez les jeunes tout en les aidant d’une part, à lancer des activités novatrices génératrices de revenus et d’autre part, à consolider leurs activités entrepreneuriales à travers des appuis techniques et financiers qui visent à favoriser le développement et la création de richesses. INTEGRA encadrera les jeunes entrepreneurs après le financement de leur entreprise dans l’exécution de leur plan d’affaires, et en assistant les entreprises bénéficiaires dans les différentes étapes de leur croissance afin de s’assurer de leur viabilité et leur développement.La sensibilisation des publics cibles, en particulier les jeunes, aux opportunités du programme, au danger de la migration irrégulière et au potentiel de la Guinée afin de renforcer leur rôle en tant qu’acteurs et bénéficiaires du programme.Pour la mise en œuvre des actions prévues par INTEGRA, le Gouvernement guinéen et l’Union européenne ont fait appel à l'expertise de trois agences pour la mise en œuvre du projet, à savoir, l’agence belge de développement (Enabel), le Centre de Commerce Internationale (CCI), et l'agence de coopération internationale allemande pour le développement (GIZ). Ces trois agences travaillent en synergie et en étroite collaborations avec les trois ministères de tutelle concernés.Lors de son discours d’ouverture de cérémonie, le Premier Ministre de la République de Guinée, Dr Ibrahima Kassory Fofana, a mis l’accent sur l’importance de la place des jeunes dans ce programme : « Nous voulons de manière générale soutenir des projets qui contribuent à construire un territoire dynamique où l’on peut entreprendre, où les jeunes s’épanouissent et où les forces s’unissent pour lutter contre l’émigration. Grâce au partenariat engagé entre le gouvernement Guinéen et l’Union européenne, nous allons accompagner les jeunes guinéens dans leur parcours d’insertion socio-économique à travers des outils ou méthodes que nous avons voulus innovantes, concrètes et efficaces. C’est une très grande satisfaction que de participer à ce projet. »De son côté, l'Ambassadeur de l'Union européenne en Guinée, Josep Coll, a déclaré : « INTEGRA veut amorcer une nouvelle dynamique dans la création d’emploi et dans le soutien de l’entrepreneuriat jeunes. En même temps, j’aimerais souligner que ce programme se veut un premier accompagnement de l’Union européenne du Gouvernement de la Guinée dans la mise en œuvre de ses priorités politiques en la matière. Le caractère innovateur d’INTEGRA devrait permettre d’amorcer cette dynamique. » Ainsi, à travers ce programme, ce sont plus de 15.000 jeunes qui seront directement accompagnés par le projet INTEGRA pour amorcer cette nouvelle dynamique pour l’intégration socio-économique, pour travailler, entreprendre et réussir en Guinée.
