The project will support the Government's training strategy by restructuring technical education and vocational training systems (VET) and spearheading the change from a socially oriented supply driven training system to a demand driven system, which is employment oriented and responsive to the needs of the economy, particularly the private sector. It will support development of the planning and monitoring capacity of the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training (METFP) and allow it to follow the labor market trends. The project will also finance the development of sector specific vocational training centers, which will professionalize the formal and informal training system through restructuring and reorienting technical and vocational training. Project components are as follows : a) institutional development : strengthening METFP's Directorates, creating a Labor Market Information System, and monitoring the VET Reform Program; b) training of sector personnel; and c) National Training Fund : creating the managerial structures and funding training activities.
