Improving skills and employability in Senegal’s eco-construction sub-sector

VET Toolbox works together with public and private actors to reinforce skills development and unlock job opportunities in the thriving eco-construction sector. Key achievements so far include the following: Organising multi-level stakeholder workshops between key private and public sector partners aimed at identifying private sector needs and a potential skills gap/mismatch between labour demand and supply. Signing a formalised partnership agreement between Elementerre SARL, a construction company, and Worofila, a collective specialised in bioclimatic architecture, and two training centres to train the required labour force for the new eco-construction project. Expanding the professional training offer in the field of eco-construction through the development of new professional standards and curricula.
