Dans le cadre du développement de ses activités, la CTB recherche un (h/f) :

****Expert international en développement organisationnel et institutionnel – BURUNDI****

Pour le projet AFPT « Appui à la Formation Professionnelle et Technique »

Réf.: BDI/10/066-3

****Lieu d’affectation:**** Bujumbura, BURUNDI

Durée du contrat:12mois assuré, avec prolongation prévue de 30 mois ensuite une fois le projet suivant est accepté.

Date probable d’entrée en fonction: dès que possible

Package salarial mensuel: entre 7.200,04 euros et 8.571,41 euros (en ce compris le salaire brut mensuel et les avantages liés au statut d'expatrié: primes d’éloignement et de pénibilité). Le salaire est calculé en fonction de la composition de ménage et de l’expérience professionnelle pertinente.

Recruté par l’Agence Belge de Coopération (CTB) avec l’agrément du Ministère de l’Enseignement de Base et Secondaire, de l’Enseignement des Métiers, de la formation Professionnelle et de l’Alphabétisation. L’expert travaille sous la responsabilité directe de la direction de l’intervention du projet Appui à la formation professionnelle et technique.

Projet:

Le projet AFPT a été initié en juillet 2012 pour une durée de 5 années avec comme objectif spécifique d’améliorer la gestion stratégique et interne de 50 établissements d’enseignement et de formation technique et professionnelle, dans le cadre d’un pilotage amélioré du sous-secteur. Il dispose d’un budget de 7 millions d’euros, contribue à la mise en œuvre du Plan sectoriel de l’éducation au Burundi ( PSDEF 2012 – 2020) et prévoit en son résultat 1 d’accompagner les gestionnaires et les responsables du Ministère aux différents niveaux concernés dans l’amélioration du pilotage du secteur, et notamment en ce qui concerne la gestion de l’offre de formation, l’allocation des ressources humaines et financières, l’organisation d’une gestion améliorée des établissements, le développement des relations avec le secteur privé. Un nouveau projet de renforcement des acquis du projet AFPT a été formulé en 2013, et devrait être initié fin 2014 pour une durée de 4 années avec un budget de 6 millions d’euros, avec une option d’appui renforcé à la gestion et au pilotage du sous-secteur ainsi qu’au développement organisationnel et institutionnel à la Direction Générale en charge de ce sous-secteur. Il a été décidé dans ce cadre de financer un poste d’expert pour accompagner la Direction à ce niveau sur 30 mois, et face à l’importance des enjeux en matière de gestion et pilotage, il a par ailleurs été décidé en accord avec le comité de pilotage du projet AFPT d’initier sans attendre cet appui à la Direction Générale.

L’amélioration du pilotage institutionnel de l’ETEMFP (Enseignement Technique, Enseignement des Métiers, et Formation Professionnelle) est par ailleurs l’une des options stratégiques du document de politique nationale d’Enseignement des métiers et de la Formation professionnelle, qui prévoit par ailleurs une extension de la couverture de l’offre à la fois au niveau provincial (par le biais des CFP) et au niveau communal (par le biais des CEM – Centre d’Enseignement des Métiers). L’expérience passée du projet précédent de la Coopération Belge et celle en cours montre tout à fait clairement que l’amélioration de l’organisation, du fonctionnement, de la communication, de la stratégie de la direction générale est un réel défi pour les années à venir si l’on souhaite mettre en œuvre les réformes et donner les impulsions nécessaires pour cela avec un leadership et un engagement renouvelé.

Le projet AFPT doit s’engager dans la mise en œuvre de concepts de centre de référence et de centre exemplaire aussi bien au niveau des CEM que des CFP, c'est-à-dire concentrer les moyens pour faire de certains centres des références pour les filières retenues, et de la même manière concentrer les moyens pour faire de certains centres des exemples en terme de gestion et de pilotage globale. Cette optique doit permettre de modérer et d’ajuster l’approche qui est pour l’instant celle du gouvernement, et qui vise avant tout la couverture nationale par la présence d’un CEM par commune et d’un CFP par province, en dehors de toute considération d’efficacité. Le constat actuel amène à une remise en question de cette stratégie globale et de son calendrier car la fréquentation des centres est faible à très faible et la qualité des enseignements n’est pas encore au rendez-vous.

Fonction:

Responsabilités:

En concertation avec les directions générales du Ministère en charge de la formation professionnelle et technique, et en tenant compte:

• des outils et procédures en place ou en cours de développement dans le cadre des expertises mobilisées par les Partenaires Techniques et Financiers (PTF’s) du Fonds Commun pour l’Education (FCE);

• des recommandations de la mission d’audit institutionnel et organisationnel attendue du sous-secteur;
• de l’esprit de la lettre d’entente entre l’APEFE et la CTB concernant le volet gestion pilotage.

L’expert aura pour responsabilité au niveau central:
