Expertise France, France
Expertise France is the French public international cooperation agency. It designs and implements projects which aim to contribute to the balanced development of partner countries, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda and the priorities of France’s external action. As the French public agency for international technical cooperation, Expertise France is committed to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Accord. As a complement to financial resources for development, technical cooperation is integral to France’s response to the environmental, health, social, economic and security challenges faced by governments today. Expertise France works in close collaboration with French public institutions, as well as with the European Union, in order to respond to the needs of partner countries that wish to improve public policies that tackle these challenges. To do so, the agency coordinates and implements national- or regional-scale projects in major areas of public action: • Democratic, economic and financial governance, • Peace, stability and security, • Climate, biodiversity and sustainable development, and • Health and human development. Entrusted with the design and implementation of international technical cooperation projects, Expertise France works in the field to develop innovative solutions that meet partners’ needs and donors’ expectations. Built upon skill transfer and peer dialogue, our interventions have one goal: to advise and support partner countries in strengthening their public policies.

In the Skills Alliance for Ukraine, Expertise France is represented with one project:
• Expertise France supports “Upskilling and training Ukrainian youth and young adults in the context of the recovery and reconstruction of the country”. This involves i.a. resolving the urgent initial and continuing training issues facing the country’s main vital economic activities: training, constructions/ rehabilitations. Proposal examples are:
• Access to uninterrupted education and training providing skills needed for recovery and reconstruction; thereby creating perspectives for the future, especially for Ukrainian youth;
• In the short term: provision of short and fast training courses leading to qualifications (for example, possible mobilisation of the Chamber of Trades and Crafts; and
• Longer-term approach and organisation/structuring of the sector (in conjunction with the EU-Ukraine Facility), e.g. initial training of trainers, support for the introduction of technical training courses, regulatory framework for the validation of acquired experience, support for the implementation of a national employment and training policy /introduction of joint structures for the financing of vocational training;
• Also included would be suitable re-/upskilling programmes for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable groups in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainians living abroad, with a focus on reducing barriers for return and reintegration, and addressing special needs of women, youth, people with disabilities, elderly, veterans and vulnerable groups to facilitate their economic empowerment through skills and training that allow the (re-)integration into the labour market, paying special attention to fair work and ethical employment and training programmes.
As of May 2025, 70 beneficiaries were undergoing training.
