Mauritania: The Regional Partnership Frameworks for Vocational Training officially created by ministerial decree
After a long process of consultation, design and validation, which began in July 2017, three Regional Partnership Frameworks (CRP) have been created by decree of the Minister of National Education and Vocational Training, for the agriculture, construction and public works and fisheries sectors, respectively for the Gorgol, Nouakchott and Nouadhibou regions.
This process of setting up CRPs began with the analysis of the obstacles to the implementation of vocational training policy, at the initiative of the Ministry in charge of vocational training and with the effective and continuous participation of all public and private actors involved in vocational training.
Faced with the immensity of the task of removing the main obstacles in a partnership approach, the actors decided to meet in consultation frameworks allowing them to discuss all the issues relating to the development of vocational training in relation to the promising economic sectors of their regions. Thus, the three economic sectors (agriculture, construction and fisheries) and the respective regions of their predilection (Gorgol, Nouakchott and Nouadhibou) were selected by the actors.
By consensus, the missions and mode of function of the CRPs were defined by the actors while specifying the roles and responsibilities of each. The first annual action plans were developed in 2019 and their implementation is ongoing.
This decree gives the CRPs official recognition which enables them to contribute, legitimately and legally, to the implementation of national policy for the development of vocational training at regional level.
