Abstract

This brief summarizes the results of a gender impact evaluation study, entitled Economic impacts of professional training in the informal sector : the case of the labor force training program in Cote d'Ivoire, conducted in 1994 focusing on participants who started in 1999 in Cote d'Ivoire. The study observed the impact of the labor force training program (PAFPA) developed for the informal sector in Cote d'Ivoire on the individual and business level. Overall, the program does not have a significant positive impact on revenue. There are positive economic impacts as a result of training received for some groups, namely women, the agricultural and electronics sectors, firms employing 1 to 3 individuals, and firms with 10 or more employees.
