A) My working situation:
I work for the Secretariat of the
Working Group for International Co-operation in Skills
Development. I'm also an assistant in the Graduate
Institute of Development Studies in Geneva, where I work mostly
on issues of education and social development. Finally, I am doing
a PhD on the "Centres d'Èducation pour le dÈveloppement"
(CED) in Mali. These are schools, mostly situated in
rural areas that combine basic education and skills
development.
B) My challenge for the workshop:
My main challenge is to contrast the
dynamics of the CED with similar cases. I am especially
interested in learning how to define and stick to the
specific realities and needs of the communities. I am also
interested on the effects of education and training in rural areas
on social and gender inequalities, and poverty.
C) My contribution:
I would like to share what I have learnt
on the CED, considered as a NGO pilot project that
started in the 90' and that is now being scaled up.
D) My topical interests:
1. Organizing Demand and Supply of Trainings
This is about making sure that all the
players in SDRA have enough information about what is
available, what should be developed and how to make the
supply and demand for SDRA-efforts meet each other.
2. Working on gender mechanisms
This is about various ways in which the
concept of gender can be used to increase the
efficiency and relevance of SDRA-efforts
3. Capacity and Organisation Development
related to SDRA
This is about how to help local
organisations/institutions to be able to organize
themselves for efficient SDRA efforts
