Since its inception in 2014, ATVET  has provided support to leading structures such as Direction Générale du Foncier, de la Formation et de l´Organisation du Monde Rural (DGFOMR). Agricultural training centres were also supported in establishing a database.  To facilitate the integration of ATVET into national strategies, a paper advocating for the mainstreaming of agricultural vocational training in the Programme National du Secteur Rural (PSNR), Burkina Faso’s NAIP, has been prepared. 

ATVET aims to promote knowledge sharing through knowledge management of best practices using the NEPAD knowledge management portal. Curricula, monitoring manuals, and organisation materials were developed for three occupations of rice value chains, three occupations of sesame value chains and five occupations of cashew value chains.  

14 trainers and training centre managers were trained on the competence-based approach. The entrepreneurship training module on compiling a business plan was completed. 24 trainers from training centres were coached on the theoretical aspects of entrepreneurship training based on the Bauern-Unternehmerschulung (BUS) approach. Over 200 youth, including 80 females, were trained on entrepreneurship, and the development of a business plan using the BUS approach.
