TVET Country Profile : Burkina Faso

The development of human capital through TVET is one of the ways to sustain growth, reduce unemployment and eradicate poverty. Consequently, Burkina Faso undertook to reform its TVET system by adopting a TVET orientation law in July 2007. This replaced the
existing law of 1996.

TVET plays a valuable role by offering a wide variety of skills to improve employability thereby contributing to the productive capacity of business organisations and industries. This paper highlights a country-level overview of the TVET system in Burkina Faso, looking at its policy framework, governance, and the involvement of the private sector in TVET. The aim is to provide an overview of strategies for the implementation of TVET to improve TVET reform and quality.
