Le Projet Pilote de Formation en Alternance « PPFEA » : un outil bénéfique pour le territoire de Ngandajika
Michael MALEMBA | 28/03/2018
Le programme Edukor travaille en synergie avec ses partenaires institutionnels notamment : le Ministère de l’enseignement primaire, secondaire et professionnel(MEPSP), la société civile et le monde du travail, qui ont pour mission d'améliorer la qualité de la formation technique et professionnelle au bénéfice des jeunes apprenants (filles et garçons). Tout en ayant un regard particulier quant à l'accès et rétention des jeunes filles dans les filières techniques et professionnelles en vue de forger une main d’œuvre qualifiée. Ceci permettra ainsi de constituer une force pour l’avenir au service des communautés, des provinces et du pays. Dans le cadre de la vision stratégique mise en place par le programme Edukor qui vient en appuie de cinq écoles de l’Enseignement Technique et Formation Professionnelle(ETFP) et sont devenues à ces jours des Centres d’Applications (CDA), en faisant objectivement bénéficier celles-ci de renforcements des capacités de leurs RH, par la réhabilitation et la construction d’infrastructures et la dotation d’équipements pour leurs ateliers dans les filières de la mécanique générale, menuiserie, mécanique moto, agriculture générale, transformation alimentaire et vétérinaire. L’équipe EDUKOR a mise en place le « Projet Pilote de Formation en Alternance » (PPFEA) pour cette année scolaire 2017/2018, rencontrant les attentes de la RDC dans le cadre de la stratégie nationale en matière de l’ETFP.Par ailleurs, une approche innovatrice en signant des conventions avec des entreprises locales et certains services de l’état tels que : BRASIMBA, Minière de Bakwanga (MIBA), Office des routes, PRODEKA, Institut National pour l'Etude et la Recherche Agronomique (INERA), Projet Ditunga (PRODI), Action intégrée pour le Développement de Ngandajika (AIDN) et Centre d'Alevinage Principal (CAP) TSHIOJI, qui accueillent en formation en alternance 188 élèves (filles et garçons) en raison de 2 ou 3 jours par semaine pendant toute l’année scolaire afin de les permettre d’acquérir les compétences techniques du métier au sein de leurs structures. Cet apprentissage se réalise sous l’encadrement des professionnels de ces entreprises (Maîtres encadreurs) sur base d’un programme séquentiel d’acquisition de compétences établies. Les enseignants des cours techniques des CDA en synergie avec l’inspection assurent tout au long de l’année l’appui des RH (Maîtres encadreurs) ainsi que le suivi et évaluation des apprenants en alternance. C’est ainsi que les élèves des CDA, en appui d’EDUKOR, alternent pendant la semaine leur apprentissage théorique (cours généraux), puis les cours de pratique (métier) au sein de leurs écoles, dans les salles de cours, dans l’atelier, dans les laboratoires NTIC (Nouvelles Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication), dans les AGR (Activités Génératrices de Revenus), et finalement dans les entreprises et services de l’état conventionnés dans le cadre du « PPFEA ». Grâce à cette alternance au sein de ces entreprises et services de l’état, les apprenants des CDA bénéficient d'une formation pratique « in situ » qui répond aux attentes et besoins des employeurs, permettant ainsi d'atteindre une parfaite adéquation entre la formation et l'emploi préparant les jeunes sortants de la formation vers l’emploi salarial ou l’entrepreneuriat.

First workshop on data collection to support the implementation of a national monitoring and evaluation system for the TVET sector
Laura SCHILLEMANS | 28/03/2018
Based on the work of the Monitoring and Evaluation Technical Working Group, supported by ETF, Enabel and GIZ, a list of indicators to monitor and evaluate the TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) sector in Palestine was developed. The list, which has been approved by the main stakeholders, formed the basis for the creation of a monitoring framework. The framework looks at the input (e.g. demand for TVET), the output (e.g. number of graduates from the TVET sector) and the quality of the TVET system (e.g. employment rate of the TVET graduates). In order to implement the new framework, existing monitoring and evaluation processes have to be reviewed to ensure that the necessary data is gathered and analyzed. As a pilot for 2018, the ETF is supporting the NGO VET League in going through the complete monitoring and evaluation cycle, starting with the data collection of five administrative indicators and one on the employment rate. "It is important to move from data collection to data analysis so we can identify trends and make the necessary decisions based on those" says Kristien Van den Eynde, the newly appointed ETF country desk for Palestine. On March 21, 2018, the first of three capacity building workshops, aimed at supporting the NGO VET providers in implementing the pilot, has taken place. The workshops address the topics of data collection, data analysis, result dissemination and informing decision makers. In his opening speech, Bart Horemans (International Technical Advisor for Entrepreneurship and Job Creation at Enabel), emphasized the need for the system: “A good M&E system is essential to measure the quality of our work. We need to know where we are with TVET in Palestine, what we have done, what we are doing and what we have to do: how many graduates have found a job? Do we offer quality education and training? How many new TVET vocations do we need? Where do we have to extend or build new TVET institutions? What can be improved? are only a few of the questions we need answers to.” Sabina Gebauer , Head of GIZ TVET and Employment Promotion Programme, highlighted that “M&E of the TVET sector is fundamental for improving TVET, achieving a better qualified work force, diminishing unemployment and contributing to a better performance of the private sector,” she added that “only if we know the results of previous and current training programmes in terms of quality and employment, we can make informed decisions about the best way forward.” Yousef Shalian, Chair of the VET League emphasized that the NGO VET League is committed to cooperate with the different stakeholders, especially with Ministry of Education and higher Education and the Ministry of Labour, through the TVET Higher council and the TVET development center, to achieve the creation of the M&E system. On medium term, the system will allow the NGO VET providers to have a source of comparison and a benchmark against which they can monitor their performance.On the long term, the pilot could be implemented at a national level so that all TVET providers in Palestine can use the same monitoring tools and processes.

Une gestion de l'eau sensible
Meriem HILALI | 22/03/2018
En cette journée mondiale de l’eau, notre partenaire l’Office National de l’Eau et l'Électricité organise en collaboration avec Enabel une journée sur l’eau, l’assainissement et l’accompagnement social des projets de gestion de l'eau. Cette journée fait partie d’un ensemble d’activités de sensibilisation sur des thématiques telles que l’importance de la collecte, du traitement et de l’évacuation des eaux usées, mais aussi sur l’importance de l’eau en général et les bonnes pratiques face à ses infrastructures. Les bénéfices du programme d’assainissement sont considérables car ils touchent l’amélioration des conditions sanitaires et environnementales. Ces actions de sensibilisation permettent l’adhésion des populations et donc d’assurer la durabilité des services fournis par notre partenaire. Dans cette même thématique, nous avions également organisé la semaine dernière deux visites de stations d'épuration des eaux usées (STEP) pour des élus et la société civile. La première visite s'est déroulée à la nouvelle STEP de Midar (au nord du Maroc) au profit des associations et élus de la ville. L'objectif du projet dans cette zone d'intervention est l’extension du réseau de 44 km, la réalisation de la station d’épuration basée sur un système naturel et de 2 stations de pompage, ainsi que le raccordement de 1 000 nouveaux bénéficiaires. La seconde concernait la STEP et station de pompage du centre El Ouatia (au sud-ouest du Maroc) et a réuni 15 associations et 10 membres du conseil communal. De plus, des actions de sensibilisation ont été menées en faveur des nouveaux raccordés du centre Lakhssass (au sud du Maroc).

Supporting Education Through Sustainable Infrastructure
Dorothy KYAMAZIMA | 22/03/2018
Over 1300 students and teachers from National Teachers College (NTC) Kaliro stand to benefit from the infrastructural renovations and constructions by the Ministry of Education and Sports and Enabel, the development agency of the Belgian government.Under the Teacher Training Education project, Enabel, formerly known as the Belgian Technical Cooperation seeks to improve institutional and pedagogic development and provide access to quality training and learning facilities in National Teachers Colleges. This has led to infrastructural developments in a number of NTCs across the country with the aim of creating safer learning environments that will improve learning. The work at NTC Kaliro will focus on the rehabilitation of existing accommodation for both students and staff, construction of new accommodation, sports facilities, an education block and provision of furniture and equipment for the facilities. This intervention has however not only benefited NTC-Kaliro but also partnering organisations like Makerere University. A recent event at the University saw the Belgian Ambassador H.E Hugo Verbist donate a set of architectural books to school of Built Environment (College of Engineering Design Art and Technology-CEDAT). This was as an appreciation for their participation in the Architectural Students Design project that produced creative designs and blue prints for NTC –Kaliro accommodation improvements. A number of top students with winning ideas and designs also received a prize of one and half semester tuition fees. The idea of engaging students was intended to involve young minds with creative ideas but also to provide them with the opportunity to develop practical experience and build their abilities in the area of design. “This activity was very interesting because we could offer our consultants new and creative user-friendly ideas for sustainable accommodations,” Jan Van Lint, head of the Enabel Infrastructure Unit said. While addressing the students and staff at CEDAT, the Belgian Ambassador; H.E Hugo Verbist noted that the intention of this project was to think out of the box and challenge the current practice of architecture by going beyond aesthetics and creating modern facilities that emphasized the importance of sustainability, energy efficiency and respect for natural environment.This competition also involved students from Uganda Martyrs University to refurbish existing student’s accommodation at National Teachers College Muni in Arua.Enabel also supports the education sector in Uganda through teacher training education that focuses on organizational and capacity development of teacher trainees at National Teacher Colleges.

PPP IN SKILLS DEVELOPMENT: MAKING IT HAPPEN
William YEKA | 14/03/2018
It is a sunny Friday afternoon in Uganda’s South-Western District of Masindi and a seemingly contented Sam Kasangaki holding a notebook and pen emerges out of a room which has been the venue of a workshop for 5 days now. Sam is the director of a local company called Farmers Engineering Solution Limited. “I have been trained in the establishment of relevant public-private partnerships in skills development. Previously, we in the private sector never knew how to coordinate our activities with the training institutions,” says Sam. Sam is one of the 60 stakeholders of the Support to Skilling Uganda (SSU) project trained on public-private partnership (PPP). The workshop exposed participants to the benefits of PPP in skills development while exploring the challenges and success factors for partnership. Any partnership should have clear roles and responsibilities for each party and to make this happen, participants were equipped on how to develop a memorandum of understanding and other tools. Participants included Directors and Instructors of Vocational Training Institutions (VTIs), Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) officials, Private Sector companies and Business Membership Organisations such as Uganda Small Scale Industries Association (USSIA). Sam is a master craft person (MCP). MCP is a skilled individual of the private sector employed in a particular trade such as welding and metal fabrication. Like other MCPs, Enabel trained him so that he could pass his knowledge and skills to trainees in VTIs. This was aimed at addressing the disconnect between the training offered by VTIs vis –a- vis the needs of the labour market which has rendered many graduates unemployed. Mwesigwa Robert, the Director of Millennium Business Institute in Hoima District confirms that many of his graduates are unemployed. “Only 40% of my trainees get employed after graduation. The remaining 60% is not absorbed due to reasons such as the inability to use the latest technology in the industry,” says Robert. He attributes this to the absence of a formal and well-defined partnership between his institution and the private sector. Robert says if such partnership existed, they would have had an opportunity to engage with the private sector on how to align their training to labour market needs. He says this would result in the production of graduates with the skills that the private sector requires. He, however, expresses relief that the PPP workshop has positioned them to change the status quo. “We now know who to partner with, the area of partnership and how to formalize this relationship,” says Roberts. He says the benefits of such partnership are enormous, describing it as WIN-WIN-WIN. Robert explains that working with the private sector will enable training institutions to improve the quality of their training leading to the production of more employable graduates. As for the private sector, it will have quality employees who will not need additional training which would otherwise be a cost to the business.The PPP workshop is part of the initiatives under the SSU intervention implemented by Enabel aimed at promoting partnership between training institutions and the labour market. The project is implemented in three regions of Uganda namely; Albertine/Rwenzori, Karamoja and Northern Uganda. The overall objective of SSU is to enhance the employability of Ugandan youth through better quality of instruction and training in skills development.

Conclusions from the external mid-term review of the JFA
Laura SCHILLEMANS | 12/03/2018
Since 2013, Belgium is part of the Joint Financing Arrangement (JFA) for Education, together with Finland, Germany, Ireland and Norway. The pooled fund, which is the single largest donor of the education sector, provides financial and technical support for the implementation of the Palestinian Authority’s education sector development plan. At the end of February 2018, an external mid-term review was concluded and the results were presented to and discussed between the partner countries and the Ministry of Education. Conclusions of the report highlight the major role the Joint Financing Partners are playing, as a group, in the implementation of the education sector plan due to their technical expertise, the financial weight they carry, and their establishment of a valuable partnership with the Ministry. A highly harmonized approach was made possible because the JFP’s are ‘like-minded’ and therefore they have been willing and able to coordinate and speak with one voice. “The dialogue between Joint Financing Partners and the Ministry has always been open – nothing is left off the agenda, even the difficult and sensitive topics. This openness can be associated to several factors. The JFA has been long-standing and the JFPs have shown to be very reliable partners that have also demonstrated strong sectoral expertise.” the consultants highlighted.In the report, the consultants also recommended to continue with the JFA and to strengthen it operationally, in order to further enhance the strategic management of the Ministry of Education, based on improved management instruments, based on a stronger integration of policy development, planning & budgeting, and monitoring & evaluation.

Sergij Gabršček: “The project has proven to be relevant, both in objectives and outputs, and meets the priorities of the local government. The private sector was involved, which allowed for programs adapted to the needs of the labour market. There is now a continuous dialogue between the private sector and the TVET providers as well as a feeling of ownership (…) The project reached more trainees than initially planned, with twice as many female graduates as anticipated (…) After the programme, there was more trust between the trainees, the TVET institutions and the private sector and more engagement to continue the initiatives” Dr. Ziad Jweiles: “Enabel really listens to the stakeholders. The WBL has changed the mindset in the field. Now we have the mandate and the power to continue.”
