Tender Details

I - CONTEXT AND JUSTIFICATION
Higher education in Côte d'Ivoire is at a crossroads because of the weak performance, both internal and external, and the new requirements brought about by globalization. It is a fact today that African countries can not remain marginalized from the phenomenon of internationalization of the higher education system, characterized by the gradual harmonization of training offers, diplomas and study cycles.

Higher education institutions will thus have to resort to convergence policies, notably through the search for common denominators in accordance with the main principles of the academic Bachelor-Master-Doctorate (LMD) system, and across borders, as in the case of principles of the Bologna Declaration adopted by European countries. The weak internal performance of higher education, reinforced by a problem of overstaffing, undermines the entire higher education system and social peace throughout the country. In order to give it a new face and drastically reduce the failure rate, and in accordance with the spirit of the Licence-Master-Doctorate system, it is essential to improve university training by bringing institutions together in a sustainable manner. higher education of the labor market.

In the case of the implementation of the LMD in Côte d'Ivoire, the emphasis was put on the implementation of the Bachelor and Master levels.

Indeed, there is no national strategy on Doctoral Schools (ED).

Universities and grandes écoles do not have a formal regulatory framework for doctoral training except the decree N ° 205 MESRS / DGES of 13 December 2011 on the organization of PhD in higher education in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire.
Thus, within the framework of the Support Project for the Development of Higher Education (PADES), the Office for the Coordination of Employment Programs (BCP-Emploi) plans to recruit from the Youth Employment and Skills Development Project (PEJEDEC) funds. a cabinet for the elaboration of the national strategy for the creation of Doctoral Schools in Côte d'Ivoire.
