This is a project involving ANED and CODIFOR with the primary objective of increasing the performance of the electricity distribution sector in Nigeria through skills’ development.

The partnership between the Association for the Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED) and Cooperation, Industrial Development and Training (CODIFOR) represents a great opportunity for ANED to contribute to the performance and competitiveness of the distribution sector in Nigeria, through an active participation into the sector’s technical vocational training projects.

This partnership aims at strengthening ANED’s capacity to:

• Assess the skills and training needs of the Distribution companies (Discos) (including the creation of references for job trades and skills, the analysis of changes in technologies, equipment and skills);
• Develop the capacity for an appropriate participation into the governance of training facilities, such as NAPTIN;
• More generally, contribute to the definition and orientation of training offers in Nigeria, in order to adapt them to the real needs of the industry (this may require a stronger quality management of trainings, and the creation of a certification system);

The partnership between ANED and CODIFOR will contribute to bridging the skills gap in the Nigerian distribution sector by strengthening the private sector’s participation into the design and management of projects related to human resources, skills and training.

The partnership will contribute to ensuring the availability of manpower equipped with the requisite skills and practical know-how required by the sector.

ANED and CODIFOR partnership takes place in the framework of The French Development Agency in Nigeria (AFD) support.
