| Description | The main objective of the PPTA is to assist the Government in achieving its goal of poverty reduction. In order to do this, the TA will assist the Government to: (i) improve the quality of its skills development programs through an analysis of the vocational/technical education sub-sector encompassing policy and existing institutional structures and their mandate and performance and a needs assessment; and (ii) based on this analysis, and in consultation with Government, prepare a project feasibility report with costs, components, proposed management structures, monitoring systems and implementation arrangements to support specific interventions that will help meet the Government objectives and policies agreed upon for the sub-sector. The scope of the TA will extend to vocational and technical education (including ICT)* sub-sector. The TA will conduct an analysis of the vocational and technical education sub-sector. The analysis will take into account the existing capacity within the sub-sector; its strengths and weaknesses; policies pertaining to the sub-sector; participation of women and other disadvantaged groups; geographic dispersion; role of the private sector; and the potential of vocational and technical education to address the skills development needs of the country's youth. The analysis will also include a review of existing labor market studies, if any, and conduct skills demand surveys in areas identified for potential support. The TA will undertake extensive consultations with stakeholders through seminars and workshops. Based upon the review and analysis, and consultations, the TA will make recommendations for policy revisions, if necessary, cost effective strategies and an implementation framework with costs. *For the purpose of the PPTA, technical education includes ICT. |
