Éthiopie

This study is a joint collaboration of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), International Labour Organization (ILO), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Finn Church Aid (FCA) to identify good practices related to access to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes for refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs), as well as their host communities, and their transition to the labour market.

The study reviews TVET systems and programmes implemented by national ministries, private sector actors, development agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) across five countries - Ethiopia, Jordan, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda – prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created additional challenges for the livelihoods and inclusion of forcibly displaced people around the world.

A key driver of current efforts to reform technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Ethiopia is the need to strengthen linkages between industry and the national training system.

The ILO Skill-UP Ethiopia Project is partnering with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the Textile and Garments sector to improve productivity through skills development and to strengthen the quality and relevance of training for priority occupations in the sector. The four key goals are:

• Reduce skills gaps and shortages
• Improve productivity
• Increase opportunities for all individuals in the workforce
• Improve learning supply

There is common agreement that clear multi-stakeholder governance arrangements, such as Sector Skills Committees lead to better coordination, dialogue and active engagement strategies, which enhances the relevance of skills development systems and underpin economic growth in the sector.

Semi-government and non-government organizations, such as, Sector Skills Committees, partner with government to achieve mutually beneficial national goals. These new types of partnerships, brought about by the coming together of government and the private sector leads to new forms of training and ultimately higher quality employment outcomes.

This operational guide should be read in conjunction with, and forms part of, the Sector Skills Committee Governance and Operational Guide.
