The proposed outcome is skills and competitiveness of men and women in the industrial labor force improved. Three proposed outputs are; (i) selected five technical training institutes (TTIs) strengthened; (ii) work-based learning in industry promoted; and (iii) innovative financing mechanisms expanded. The project will emphasize diploma level-post secondary technical and vocational education and training (TVET), higher value-added four priority industries (construction, manufacturing, electricity, electronics), industry participation and public-private partnerships, and gender equity.
