Promoting investment in skills and competencies acquisition by trainers and entrepreneurs in African countries
The Kigali Conference is a follow-up to the Abidjan Conference on “Youth Employment in Africa” held in July 2014. The latter brought together ministers and/or their representatives from 28 countries within the framework of the Inter-Country Quality Node on Technical and Vocational Skills Development (ICQN-TVSD). On that occasion, the participants decided to implement a three-year plan of action (2014-2017) that is articulated around three priority themes/areas:
- Analyzing and operationalizing inter-country experiences and mechanisms for job creation that target more particularly the youth ;
- Promoting investment in countries to support the acquisition of skills and competencies by trainers and entrepreneurs;
- Promoting the implementation of the education – training continuum.
The Rwandan Minister for TVET offered to organize in 2015 an Inter-country conference on the following theme: "Promoting investment in skills and competencies acquisition by trainers and entrepreneurs in African countries - What skills/competencies and what training to promote?”
