Monitoring the implementation of partnership programmes in the field of employment and vocational training took centre stage at a meeting held on Tuesday between Employment and Vocational Training Minister Lotfi Dhieb and a delegation from the French Development Agency (AFD).

The minister underlined the need to speed up the implementation of these projects and programmes, to meet deadlines and to overcome all difficulties, underlining the importance of the “New Chance” project, which targets young people aged between 18 and 30, without diplomas or qualifications, in the governorates of Kairouan and Sousse, and aims to help them return to work.
