Cooperation between Cinterfor/ILO and the European Training Foundation

On July 24, Antonio Graziosi, Director a.i. of Cinterfor , visited the European Training Foundation (ETF) in Turin, Italy. Working on behalf of the EU, the ETF assists the EU partner countries in developing quality education and training systems and in putting them into practice. It was originally meant to assist Central and Eastern Europe countries, but it has been extending its scope of action to the Middle East and South Africa. Upon the European Union's request, ETF is currently examining a regulation that will enable them to broaden their geographical reach. It is expected that this regulation will be approved during the year 2008.

Mr. Graziosi met ETF Director Muriel Dunbar and a team of experts of the Foundation. Until the process of review of their mandate is not finished, ETF will not be able to assume formal engagements with Cinterfor. However, experts of the Foundation showed great interest in sharing knowledge and experiences with Cinterfor, for example concerning regional meetings and the design of a work plan.
