Since the official launch of Pefop in November 2015, many activities have been developed for the benefit of vocational training stakeholders in Africa. 

Coming from 9 different African countries, the participants gathered to enrich their knowledge, deepen the skills acquired during the course, and share experiences and good practices among peers and between countries. The course is structured around four modules and aims to strengthen the capacities of managers in the management of vocational training systems.

As part of its technical cooperation with partner countries and its support for knowledge production, IIEP-UNESCO Dakar has recently carried out two studies: one on the contextualisation and adaptation of the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) and another on technical and vocational education and training. 

These two studies covered the following eight countries: Benin, Ethiopia, Ghana, Madagascar, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal and South Africa.
