Niger and Switzerland have signed new agreements aimed at enhancing education and employment opportunities for Nigerien youth.
The agreements were signed on June 25 in Niamey by Niger’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bakary Yaou Sangaré, and the Deputy Head of the Swiss Cooperation Office, signaling a fresh phase in collaborative efforts to support young people.
The new pact includes the launch of the first phase of the “GUANI” program, which focuses on developing technical and professional skills.
Both parties also signed Amendment No. 3 to the existing agreement under the Education Quality Support Program (PAQUE III), a long-standing Swiss-supported initiative.
