A training workshop then looked into mechanisms for promoting the participation of the productive sector in the definition of training and education policies. Overall, the action contributed to sensitize relevant partner’s teams to the challenges ahead in the implementation of a national qualifications’ framework and the need to reinforce basic and transversal competences through VET.

    The Ministry of Public Function, Labour, Administrative Reform and Social Protection of Togo requested SOCIEUX+ support to reshuffle the institutional framework for social dialogue, notably the role of the Conseil National pour le Dialogue social. Deepening the social dialogue is seen as part of an economic development strategy based on greater social cohesion and a fair allocation of the dividends of growth. Experts from Belgium and France have analyzed the current situation and provided methodological recommendations with a view to organising a round table aimed to renew and restart the institutional framework for social dialogue; to this purpose, experts have prepared an orientation note, a proposal of agenda, and supporting documentation.
