The project aimed to enhance the delivery of Business Development Services (BDS) for ILA and EDF applicants by utilizing the CEFE methodology. To adapt to COVID-19 and improve accessibility, an online training platform was tested and implemented successfully. The CEFE Academy platform, developed by CEFE International and tested in Tunisia, provided interactive, high-quality online training aligned with experiential learning principles. IOM trainers piloted the platform with ILA beneficiaries, achieving positive outcomes.
