During the meeting, participants exchanged views on the establishment of a Qualification Assessment Center within the sector and on the development of its institutional and methodological foundations.

In addition, the participants discussed accelerating the involvement of the sectoral council in the implementation of RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) mechanisms within the framework of the international project.

It was agreed to select one profession each in the areas of agriculture, livestock production, and food security in order to pilot the implementation of RPL mechanisms for these specific occupations.
