World Bank funds technical education in Côte d’Ivoire --[Reported by Umva mag]

This investment is aimed at addressing the country’s high youth unemployment rate and ensuring that graduates have the skills needed to meet the demands of the private sector.

Côte d’Ivoire, a leading economic power in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) region, faces a significant employment challenge. Despite a large number of young people entering the workforce each year, only a small percentage find formal employment. The government has set an ambitious goal of increasing this figure to 70% by 2030.

To address this issue, the Ivorian government has partnered with the private sector to develop innovative training programs. The Curriculum Development Center, located at the Cocody Technical High School, is one such initiative. This center works with industry to create training programs that align with the current and future needs of the professional world.

The World Bank’s funding will support the expansion of technical and vocational education and training in Côte d’Ivoire. By investing in these programs, the World Bank aims to help the country develop a skilled workforce and boost its economic growth.
