Training provider assessment : summary report -- Tunisia

The TPA"s are being developed under USAID"s centrally funded Human Resources Development Assistance project, which aims to provide support to the development of the private sector throughout Africa. This report covers a consultancy survey performed during the period July 1 to August 15, 1992, with the objective of developing TPA"s of training providers in Tunisia. The consultancy involved the identification of training institutes, the administration of two questionnaires to each institute, input of the data into a database, and the drafting of this summary report. The TPA survey/database for Tunisia builds on a study which was previously performed by USAID/Tunis in preparation for its PROS (subsequently renamed MTPS) project to promote the private sector through training. The TPA"s build on the earlier study in that they provide profiles (although much less detailed) of a total of 43 training providers together with profiles of between one and eight courses offered by each provider. The TPA survey provides a broader picture of the training sector in Tunisia in terms of the type of sector covered, courses offered, and institutional strengths of the companies surveyed. It also provides a rating for each institute. Institutes in all of the sectors covered offer courses that would be useful for private-sector participants from other African countries.
