    Description
    The Cámara Agropecuaria del Oriente (CAO) is the leading umbrella organization representing the main agricultural producer associations in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, covering large, medium, and small producers across diverse agro-industrial value chains. As a key sectoral reference in Eastern Bolivia, the CAO combines technical and institutional expertise with a strong role in connecting cooperatives, universities, training centers, and international organizations. Through its Agricultural Training Center (CFA), the CAO provides specialized, relevant technical training aimed at improving productivity, sustainability, and employability for producers, rural workers, and young people interested in agriculture. With the support of experts from Spain and France mobilised by SOCIEUX+, the CAO is developing a sectoral competency certification model. This system strengthens skills in the agricultural workforce, provides micro-credentials, and establishes a legitimate, replicable framework for future integration with Bolivia’s national vocational training system.

    Description
    The Center for Agricultural Training (CFA) of the Eastern Agricultural Chamber (CAO) of Bolivia was expected to take off in 2022 towards a modern professional training model tailored to the needs of agricultural producers and workers. The CAO was committed to work on the Institutional systematization of the CFA to ensure their services could reach most associates and meet the basic requirements of a training entity. Collaboration with experts from Spain and France through SOCIEUX+ was pivotal in providing resources and expertise for long-term sustainability of the CFA. An extensive organizational assessment led to the creation of an operational plan and a collaborative effort to design a pedagogical model for the CFA. Additionally, a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system was established to ensure the effectiveness and quality of the training programs.
