Private sector development through education 2018
There is a close relation between development, private sector and education.
During this conference we want to exchange ideas and take action to improve the cooperation between private sector, public sector and UN/NGO’s.
Furthermore we want to boost technical and vocational education and training. We are aiming to get practical results and would like to see all parties active and involved during this conference.
Day one: Let’s boost business
The first day we start to look at how the private/public/UN-NGO’s can better cooperate and coordinate to help the growth and strength of the private sector.
The key-note speaker will voice for the businesses and will challenge all of us for change and action.
After that there will be plenty opportunities to come into action.
There are four workshops during the conference and you can choose which ones you want to join in. All four workshops will be held two times so you can participate in two.
Register your participation in time.
Workshops:
Associations, what can they do for business?
Objective of the workshop is to get South Sudanese businesses organized so that they can advocate their interest and play their role in the public environment.
In this workshop we want to explain what an association is, how businesses can benefit and we would like to get people organize themselves into associations.
Blurry world of taxes and licenses.
Objective of the workshop is better understanding and cooperation between the private sector and the government.
In this workshop we want to explain what difficulties businesses are facing due to unclear laws, taxes and regulations and their implementations and look how we can improve.
UN-NGO’s; our business?
Objective of the workshop is to make the UN-NGO’s business a South Sudanese business and good for the development of the private sector.
We want to work out how the private sector can support the work of the UN-NGO’s, how UN-NGO’s can support the private sector and how the role of UN-NGO’s can be transferred back to the society.
Education for sale? Re-invent the school.
Objective of the workshop is to advocate and facilitate the creation of a Private Public Institute (PPI) for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
In this workshop we will explain and discuss the idea of an institute that is co-owned and co-financed by both private and public. We will stimulate and facilitate the initiation of a PPI for TVET with the aim of having the first training courses up and running in the year of 2018.
Day two: TVET; driver of business and economy!
The second day we want to look for innovation and improvement of organizing TVET.
The key-note speaker will show how education is the backbone for economic development and growth in any country. Examples of how this is organized in different countries will make us ready for the workshops where we will get tools and further work out alternative ways of organizing TVET.

Register your participation in time.
Workshops:
Golden Triangle: roles and responsibilities
Objective of this workshop is to look at how different actors can work together in organizing education.
Shared power, roles and responsibility between the government, private sector and educational providers has proven to be a golden triangle; efficient and effective education delivering the quality and quantity graduates to fit the market needs and the needs of the society.
But how to organize such cooperation and power sharing?
How to finance education?
Objective of the workshop is to look for alternative ways of financing TVET in South Sudan.
We will look at how others do it and discuss what could work in South Sudan.
Private, government and NGO’s can work out how to join forces and resources for mutual benefit.
Complementary ways to educate and train people
Objective of the workshop is to get complementary ways of education and training recognized and valued by all stakeholders; education providers, receivers, employers and government.
There are many ways to educate and train people and how to get this education or training
organized. Private, public, in house, modular, formal, on line, on the job, factory training, evening class, tailor made, refresher courses etc. etc.
The results to be achieved through all these complementary ways is to get a skilled workforce that fit the needs of the labor market. During this workshop the need and benefits of complementary education will be highlighted and discussed as well as recognition and valuing of the different means of education and training by the government and other quality insurance bodies.
How to get the private sector into schools and visa versa
Objective of this workshop is to improve cooperation and knowledge exchange between educational providers and employers.
When was the last time that a teacher visited your company? When was the last time the company visited a school? Do students come to the company for an excursion? Does your expert provide part-time training at school? What are interns suppose to learn? There is a world to win and we want to discuss practical and innovative ways of cooperation between companies and schools.
