Article 1 of the Convention. Formulation and implementation of education and training policies. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in June 2013, which refers to the “Forum on decent work, employment and vocational training”, held in December 2011. With regard to the direct request of 2011, the Government confirms that the analysis of enterprises to identify training and employment needs is conducted by the Central African Agency for Vocational Training and Employment (ACFPE). The Committee notes that the recommendations of the December 2011 forum include: strengthening the institutional and legal framework designed to govern the vocational training system; rehabilitating existing centres and establishments; increasing the admission capacity of training establishments; developing training through apprenticeships in order to absorb the substantial numbers of young people dropping out of school; establishing an engineering system for initial and further training which meets the needs of the sectors; and training persons in the informal sector with regard to a transition towards the formal sector. Moreover, the Committee notes that the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP2) 2011–15 refers, in relation to issues concerning human capital, to the dual employment market and the mismatch between the production in human capital and the needs of the economy. The PRSP2 refers to the need to increase opportunities for employment and occupational integration in order to tackle poverty. The Committee invites the Government to provide information in its next report on the impact of measures implemented in the context of the poverty reduction strategy and the follow-up to the abovementioned forum on education and training (Article 1(1–4) of the Convention). It again invites the Government to indicate how a close link is ensured between, on the one hand, the ACFPE training programmes and the measures taken as part of the poverty reduction strategy and, on the other hand, employment and the employment services (Article 1(1–4) of the Convention).
Article 2. Vocational education and training systems. The Government indicates that a national team responsible for the development of training techniques has been established, with assistance from the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie. The Committee also notes that, according to the PRSP2, the technical and vocational education strategy comprises short-term development focusing on the reinforcement of guidance services; rehabilitation, construction, and equipment of training centres; provision of specific teaching materials to these centres; and the retraining, training and recruitment of trainers and their supervisors. The Committee invites the Government to supply detailed information in its next report on the progress made regarding the development of open, flexible and complementary systems of general, technical and vocational education, educational and vocational guidance and vocational training.
Article 3. Information for vocational guidance purposes. The Committee refers to the recommendations made in December 2011 in the context of the forum and invites the Government to supply information in its next report on the measures taken to ensure the provision of comprehensive information and the broadest possible guidance for children, young persons and adults and, through appropriate measures, for persons with disabilities (Article 3(1)). The Government is also requested to describe the type of information available for vocational guidance purposes and the way in which this information is kept up to date, and to supply copies of the available documentation (Article 3(2) and (3)).
Article 4. Lifelong training. The Committee invites the Government to supply information on the measures taken to extend vocational training systems to cover fields of economic activity not previously within their scope, such as the informal economy, and to ensure that they are adapted to the changing needs of individuals throughout their life, and also to those of the different branches of economic activity, in accordance with this provision of the Convention and the guidelines contained in Recommendation No. 195.
Article 5. Cooperation of employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee notes that the recommendations made at the forum in 2011 included that of developing a close partnership with the various professional associations and federations with a view to a joint definition of their human resources needs. The Committee invites the Government to indicate in its next report the formal procedures or consultative machinery established to facilitate the cooperation of employers’ and workers’ organizations and, as appropriate, other interested bodies concerned with the formulation and implementation of vocational guidance and training policies and programmes.
Part VI of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee invites the Government to supply extracts from reports, studies and inquiries, statistical data, etc., relating to vocational guidance and training policies and programmes that are being implemented.
