In an interview given by the Coordinator of the Special Projects Management Unit – UGPE, Eng. Nuno Gomes, at the launching ceremony of the Human Capital Project which took place this Tuesday, May 17.
“At the end of 5 years we hope to have a strong secondary education focused on more resilient vocational training and focused on new emerging sectors: blue economy and gender issues, in order to have more beneficiaries, above all young people and women, and in the part of productive social inclusion to have more developed families and combat poverty with productive inclusion, this being the largest slice of the project.
The human capital project will cover all 25 municipalities in the country with productive inclusion, the idea is to stop making direct transfers of money, but rather to encourage and enable families themselves to generate their own income.
The amount of 26 million dollars will be invested in the areas of education, professional training, social inclusion, and housing aimed at productive inclusion.
It should be noted that the said project will be implemented through the Project Execution Cell, created, in the form of a work team, within the Special Project Management Unit (UGPE) under the Ministry of Finance (MF), in close collaboration with the Project’s beneficiary entities:
*Ministry of Education – ME
*Employment and Training Promotion Fund – FPEF
*Directorate-General of Education – DGE
Ministry of Infrastructures, Spatial Planning and Housing – MIOTH
Ministry of Family, Inclusion and Social Development – MFIDS
