Chad and Morocco's Dakhla region discuss youth vocational training partnership
Morocco's Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region has offered technical support for Chadian trainers and short practical courses for young people.
Chad's Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Vocational Training, Dr Sitack Yombatina, received Yanja El Kattat, president of the Moroccan region of Dakhla-Oued Eddahab, in audience on Thursday, 12 November 2026. The talks focused mainly on cooperation in technical and vocational training, and the Moroccan delegation included the president of the African Chamber of Commerce and Services of Dakhla.
The Moroccan side expressed interest in providing technical support to Chadian trainers, sharing experience, and running short practical courses for young people. The courses are meant to help them enter the job market by learning trades and building professional skills. In reply, Yombatina said the Chadian state places particular importance on youth vocational training and pointed to the ultramodern Sadjeri technical and vocational training centre in N'Djamena, and the Sarh centre, whose inauguration is announced soon.
The meeting opens prospects for collaboration in strengthening trainers' capacities, transferring skills and providing qualifying training for young people.
