Project Detail |
The Agricultural and Rural Training Support Program (ProFAR 2) aims to expand the opportunities for young Beninese to access decent work in the agricultural and rural sectors , particularly in the territories of Northern Benin, through support for the establishment of qualification courses geared towards the social and economic development of the country. ProFAR 2 is new funding relating to the implementation of the National Strategy for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (SN-EFTP), following that for DEFI Pro, which finances the “emergency plan” and ProFAR 1. The funding has the specific objectives of: improve infrastructure by carrying out a program to build and equip three new agricultural technical high schools and renovate a fourth; operationalize an integrated training and integration system geared towards agricultural and rural employment; and support the emergence of a global and territorialized management system for employment and skills. The program is developed and implemented by the French Development Agency (AFD). The contribution from Luxembourg Cooperation finances ProFAR, excluding the construction and equipment of agricultural technical high schools, which are covered by an AFD loan. |
