ADEA News Briefs, April 2014
Version française de ce bulletin : Brèves de l'ADEA, avril 2014

Dear readers, This month’s bulletin puts the spotlight on ADEA’s partnership with the African Union and on ADEA activities focused on Africa’s youth. The Memorandum of Understanding with the African Union Commission (AUC), initially signed in 2008, was renewed on March 24, 2014. Since 2008, ADEA’s collaboration with the AUC has become more extensive, and COMEDAF VI provided the occasion to showcase this partnership, namely through the joint launch of two series of publications, to which the press was invited. Several activities were focused on the youth: - The ICQN-TVSD held a workshop on workforce integration strategies developed by 26 African countries. - ADEA also held a Forum on education for youth skills development in Liberia, where more than 85% of young people are unemployed. - ADEA has also joined the OIF and other partners to create an international platform for French-speaking youth. The lessons learned from these activities will be shared at the Forum on Youth and Employment which will be organized by the ICQN-TVSD in Abidjan in September 2014. Lastly, our congratulations to Mauritius, who is taking charge of early childhood development (ECD) and has just set up a Secretariat for the Inter-Country Quality Node on ECD within its Ministry of Education and Human Resources. The ADEA Secretariat |
