Expertise France and youth
Expertise France helps partner countries manage vocational training policies and develop or overhaul vocational training, based on the needs of companies in high-potential sectors. It also assists young people towards employment and entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on the economic empowerment of women.
Entrepreneurship: innovation and technology as a vehicle for integration and transformation
Expertise France helps develop and structure entrepreneurial ecosystems. It thereby fosters the creation of companies that generate wealth and employment. For several years, Expertise France has been focusing on innovation to retain skilled young people considering leaving their country to achieve their ambitions. This is a considerable loss for future economies and the socioeconomic transformational effects that this youth could bring. It thereby allows young people to invest in the future of their country by:
- financing incubation programmes,
- fostering the emergence of innovation hubs,
- creating vertical support structures in areas such as artificial intelligence, blockchains and the use of geospatial data.
Education and sport
Expertise France is helping several ministries in charge of primary and secondary education improve the quality of education provision and facilitate access to it for all. This includes assisting the management of the sector and strengthening teacher training.
Child health
Access to healthcare in early childhood is especially important, but remains far from adequate in a number of regions, in particular in developing countries. It is for this reason that Expertise France takes a great interest in the issue.
