The components include: development of the National Council of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CNFTP) for: (a) promoting training and coordination among TVET sub-systems, and strengthening linkages between the training system and employers; (b) improving financing for training; and (c) supporting the public and private training sectors. The second component, will restructure and strengthen the TVET system to make it more responsive to labor market requirements, and improve its quality and cost efficiency. The third component will improve the labor market information system by improving the system by which information about the labor market and training needs is made available. The fourth component, agricultural education and training, will include an evaluation of the sub-sector which will lead to development of policy measures and the financing of agricultural education reforms and training activities. The last component, training for senior civil servants, includes development and quality improvement of the civil service training school.
