The program’s objective is to achieve the union of at least 10,000 workers per year for each country, which will total 70,000 workers who will integrate the unions each year.

A regional workshop for evaluation of the achievements of the program will be held at the end of each year and the next steps to take will be planned.

Therefore, we need to organize ourselves on the industrial policy and encourage citizens to fight for their aspirations. These are the core values of the labor movement in every community and in every country.

It is planned to extend this important session of training union organizers in May 2013 to 10 Francophone countries.
