Press review

FERDI considers human capital, as measured, in particular, by employment, education and health, to be an essential lever in addressing the challenges of sustainable development.

Objectives

↪ To analyse the healthcare systems in developing and emerging countries and to provide governments and their partners with research-based information that supports economically feasible, and socially and politically acceptable, decision-making.

↪ To support institutions and governments to develop knowledge.

↪ To analyse opportunities and challenges for the professional integration of rural youth in WAEMU countries

Latest Achievements
