Key Information

Faced with scarcity of skills and difficulties integrating young people into the labour market, the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector occupies an important role in Niger's government policy. Ever since, it has seen important progress in accommodation capacity and resource allocation. While the Nigerian TVET system has not yet reached its full potential as the reform of the management system is not yet completed. The capacity of stakeholders at all levels should be further strengthened and vocational training still suffers from a poor image among the population and especially among young people. This deficit is compounded by the difficulties of integration, the inadequate offering of local training and little contact between schools and employers. Based on national policies and strategies currently being formalised, this support programme aims to: strengthen management capacities of the subsector (opening to environment and steering according to demand and insertion), support the shift towards greater deconcentration and decentralisation (functional and territorial), diversify initial and continued training offerings while improving access and quality, especially in the sectors necessary for rural development and socio-economic integration of young girls and women, and develop a traditional and alternative quality learning system.
