Impacts and social benefits
The dual apprenticeship training program is a new concept in Gabon and is being piloted by the National Employment Office (NEO). Thus, beyond the regular monitoring and evaluation system of the project, it is important to analyze and evaluate the implementation of key activities in order to draw lessons to guide future policies.
