SABER_WfD_Georgia_CR_Final_2014.pdf
This report presents the findings of the assessment of
Georgia’s workforce development (WfD) system,
conducted based on the World Bank’s Systems
Approach for Better Education Results (SABER) WfD
analytical framework and tool. The focus is on policies,
institutions, and practices in three important functional
dimensions of policy making and implementation—
strategic framework, system oversight, and service
delivery.1 The findings suggest that the main focus in
Georgia is shifting from policy conceptualization to
implementation. Many of the gaps identified share
common root causes, implying that addressing a
selected gap may lead to progress on related fronts.

SABER_WfD_Yemen_CR_Final_2013.pdf
A decade of sustained economic growth from 2000 to 2010 enabled the Republic of Yemen to achieve substantial
improvements in social and economic indicators. The government’s commitment to education, expressed in the
development of level-specific strategies as well as sustained public investment, led to a remarkable expansion in access to basic education and, consequently, higher demand at the secondary and tertiary levels. However, quality has remained a challenge at all levels: Increased enrollment has not resulted in higher completion rates or improved student performance, and students leave the education system ill-prepared for the labor market. After the events of 2011, and reaching an unemployment rate of 29 percent in 2012—estimated at 60 percent for youth—workforce development (WfD) has become a priority on Yemen’s political agenda.
The SABER-WfD benchmarking results, summarized below, reveal the various challenges faced by the WfD system in Yemen. These include a strong supply-driven approach, weak links between education outcomes and labor market needs, a small private sector, and a shortage of employment opportunities in the public sector. Addressing them will require focused and sustained efforts and collaboration across multiple WfD stakeholders in the public and private sectors, as well as civil society organizations and donors engaged in supporting WfD policies and programs. Capitalizing on the increased attention given to WfD in the last two years, two priority actions could be pursued: (i) formulating a unified strategic vision for WfD in Yemen; and (ii) identifying key economic sectors that are growing at the local level and developing training and apprenticeship programs accordingly.

SABER_WfD_Armenia_CR_Final_2014.pdf
This report presents a comprehensive diagnostic of the country’s WfD policies and institutions to inform policy dialogue on this important issue. The results are based on a new World Bank tool designed for this purpose.  Known as SABER-WfD, the tool is part of the World Bank’s initiative on Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER),2 the aim of which is to provide systematic documentation and assessment of the policy and institutional factors that influence the performance of education and training systems. It examines three crucial dimensions of the WfD system: strategic framework, system oversight, and service delivery. The SABER-WfD tool encompasses initial, continuing, and targeted vocational education and training that are offered through multiple channels and focuses largely on programs at the secondary and post-secondary levels. This report documents the results of the use of the SABER-WfD tool in Armenia for the first time.

SABER_WfD_Grenada_CR_Final_2013.pdf
Grenada has faced various socioeconomic challenges within the last decade, including the destruction wrought by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and the global financial crisis. As a result, economic indicators for Grenada illustrate unfavorable increases in the poverty and unemployment rates, especially among the youth and young adults.
As studies show a shortage of skills throughout the economy skills development has come into focus within the last five years in an effort to stimulate the private sector, which continues to struggle to attract foreign investment. Workforce development (WfD) has been deemed a priority for improving the country’s socioeconomic prospects.
To support the government of Grenada in this effort, the World Bank implemented the diagnostic tool SABER?WfD to assess the institutional bottlenecks that stand in the way of progress; this exercise was viewed by the World Bank as a first step to deepen dialogue around the major WfD challenges that the country needs to address. The results of the assessment presented in this report are expected to assist in clarifying priorities. They classify the WfD system according to four stages of maturity in policy and institutional development, as follows: (1) Latent, (2) Emerging, (3) Established, and (4) Advanced.

The study benchmarked levels of support for WfD in Turkey and identified measures that have helped to progress WfD within the framework of human capital development. The study takes advantage of a new diagnostic tool (SABER?WfD) to assess Turkey’s WfD for 2012. The tool is a part of the World Bank’s initiative on Systems Assessment for Better Education Results (SABER), focusing on several policy domains including WfD. Three broad functional dimensions of WfD policies were assessed based on a wide range of primary and secondary evidence: strategic framework; system oversight; and service delivery.

SABER_WfD_Sri_Lanka_CR_Final_2014.pdf
The SABER?WfD scores, summarized on the cover of the report, show that the Sri Lankan WfD system is at the Established level along one of the three functional dimensions—Strategic Framework—and at the Emerging level along the other two dimensions: System Oversight and Service Delivery. The analysis highlights a strong commitment from the government in setting a strategic direction; however, the implementation of the strategy is lagging behind. In terms of system oversight, the system needsto be strengthened to ensure better efficiency and equity in the funding of public institutions. Moreover, although a major effort has been made in setting up the competency standards and the National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) framework, challenges remain in their implementation and in ensuring the market relevance of those standards and qualifications. Finally, there is much room for improvement in service delivery. Accountability for training delivery needs to be strengthened, the relevance of public training programs needs to be improved, and both the diversity and excellence of training provision need to be increased through private sector participation.
