28/01/2016 (Agence Europe) - EU funded training support and professional insertion programme. On Tuesday 26 January, Tunisia and the EU launched a “Training Support and Professional Insertion Programme” (PAFIP) that will receive funding of €3 million. This European contribution comes on top of the €24 million granted by the French Development Agency (AFD). The EU delegation in Tunis explained that this programme “seeks to improve the quality of training” and its main goal will be to “strengthen ties between training and the world of work”. The delegation emphasised that the programme has been devised “in perfect synergy and complementarity with a much broader EU initiative and will focus support on the most disadvantaged regions: the Regional Support for Sustainable Economic Development (IRADA)”.
