Final evaluation

The programme for support of vocational training and integration into the job market (PAFIP) is directly supporting the policies of the Malian government regarding technical education and vocational training (ETFP). The programme is part of the Indicative Cooperation Programme (ICP) 2007-2011 and concentrates its actions on the Ségou region and the county of Yorosso in the Sikasso region.

Its specific objective is to create improved access to the job market for young people and women by vocational training and the creation of small traditional enterprises. The programme supports regional and local actors in the field of vocational training, which are the local authorities and more specifically the Regional Assembly of Ségou and the public institutions which have a national and regional mandate in the technical education and vocational training. By doing so the programme supports a regional approach and the decentralisation process which confirms the actors in the exercise of their competencies. The Regional Assembly plans in cooperation with the private sector the regional development of the vocational training and implements its action plan thanks to the resources provided by the programme, in accordance with the sector-based policies and with the support of the technical departments in charge of technical education and vocational training.

In addition, the programme concentrates its means on the reinforcement of the capacities of the institutions in charge of technical education and vocational training, the innovations in the field of training design and in particular the competency approach which Mali has been developing for several years, and apprenticeship integration in the vocational training facility.

Beyond the implementation of a regionalised approach, one of the major challenges of the ETFP policy will be, with the support of the PAFIP, to provide the public institutions and centres of vocational training with a greater autonomy. The PAFIP will support the juridical and technical reflections of the actors involved in order to define the most suitable statute for the imperatives of flexibility and management of an efficient professional training facility.
