The ETF will continue implementing its project for regional development of human capital in the south-east governorate of Medenine. It will contribute to promoting multi-level governance of VET policies and the institutionalization of the multi-stakeholder platform on VET and employment. The project which is part of the Torinet multi-annual initiative will aim at building capacity for evidence based policy making, consolidate the network at regional level of institutions engaged in the process and will develop tools and methodologies.

In addition and as a follow-up to the contribution provided in 2012 through the Torino Process to the national reflection on assessing the VET system and identifying possible scenarios related to VET reforms, the ETF may intervene on the further design of such reforms. This technical expertise would help design the mid-term sector-wide strategy that Tunisia is expected to set up for VET, in relation to evidence based policy making processes and to the governance issue.

Finally the ETF will continue to provide support to the EU and EC in particular in the framework of the mobility partnership. As a follow up of negotiations in 2012 the ETF could be expected to play a role on skill-related activities foreseen in the mobility partnership, and/or in the monitoring of the mobility partnership itself. This will be done in synergy with the on-going involvement of Tunisia in the regional project on sectoral qualifications and in close link with the developments under the National Qualifications Framework.
