Job Creation in Côte d’Ivoire: The AfDB Backs Youth

Youth Unemployment: Challenges and Opportunities

In the aftermath of the 2010-11 political crisis, Cote d’Ivoire is now ready for an economic

takeoff, with growth estimated at 9.1% (2014). There are however some structural

challenges, particularly with regards to high youth unemployment, which needs to be

addressed to ensure that this growth is inclusive and sustainable.

In 2013 Cote d’Ivoire had 745,000

unemployed people, representing

6.7% of the working population.

Young people are the most affected,

particularly young women.

Unemployment in Cote d’Ivoire is partly

due to a decade of political and econo-

mic crisis. However, it results mainly

from low quality and relevance of edu-

cation and training, and a significant

shortage of technical and professional

skills. In 2009, more than one-quarter

of the formal sector enterprises high-

lighted that the poor quality of labour

was an obstacle to their competitive-

ness.

Since 2009, Côte d'Ivoire has undertaken se-

ries of measures to address this monumental

challenge and to gradually change the profile

of the future workforce. A large-scale educa-

tion sector project was launched involving: (i)

restructuring of the institutional framework; (ii)

diversification of training and private sector in-

volvement; (iii) improvement of the quality of

education; and (iv) better governance in the

education and training sectors. The National

Employment Policy, adopted in 2012, is in its

third year of implementation.

An AfDB project creates 2,000 jobs

In 2013, the African Development Bank financed a USD

30 million Youth Employability and Insertion Support Pro-

gramme (PAAEIJ) whose objective is to (i) improve youth

employability by targeting medium and long-term reforms

that can help change the profile of the future workforce,

by making it more competitive and consistent with the

needs of the private sector; and (ii) job creation for 2,000

unskilled young people (40% women) while ensuring that

the jobs created are sustainable.

Five major results have been achieved to date:

1. Jobs were created in public utility works for a first

wave of 1,000 young people, including 49%

women. These young people come from 10 munici-

palities/localities. A second wave of 1,000 young peo-

ple from 18 other municipalities is planned. The

program seeks to create sustainable jobs. It uses a fi-

nancing mechanism that includes a partial guarantee

from municipalities; trains young people in various oc-

cupations and supports them in developing business

ideas; promotes a savings/investment culture; and

monitors micro-businesses after their creation.

2. Since 2013, a taskforce consisting of enterprises

and schools was set up to reinforce the linkages

between industry and education system. Ancho-

red within the private sector in Cote d’Ivoire this task

force is a public-private collaboration platform to ad-

dress the skills mismatch problem.

3. Creating a culture of monitoring and

evaluation to measure the relevance of

the education system. An inventory of

existing training provided in secondary

schools, vocational centers and higher

education institutions as well as a mecha-

nism to monitor the employability of gra-

duates were established. A roadmap was

designed to extend these mechanisms to

all education institutions. The project pro-

vided technical assistance to two pilot ins-

titutions in order to support them in

collecting information on the employability

of their graduates. By the end of 2015, the

first national survey will provide baseline

data on the relative efficiency of the various

sub-sectors in terms of their capacity to

place their graduates into the labor mar-

ket.

4. Improved efficiency and governance of

the education sector. An education-trai-

ning sector coordination agency was crea-

ted by Prime Minister’s office in January

2015. The agency operationalized by an

Inter-Ministerial Order signed by the Minis-

ter of Economy and Finance; Minister of

Budget; and the three Ministers in charge

of the education-training sectors (namely

national education and technical educa-

tion, employment and vocational training,

and higher education and scientific re-

search). For the first time, performance

contracts were signed between the Minis-

try of Higher Education and two public uni-

versities. The contracts are intended to

encourage universities to improve the em-

ployability of their graduates, as well as the

relevance of their research programmes.

5. Promotion and development of scienti-

fic research for technological innova-

tion. A national feasibility study was

conducted to set up an office whose func-

tion would be to see how to make better

use of research results. This office will ulti-

mately help develop local entrepreneurship

through SMEs derived from research fin-

dings, as well as support the development

of technologies and job creation.
