- challenges:
- Inordinate delays in providing adequate staff to NTVQF Cell at BTEB, lack of dedicated budget to upscale NTVQF, lack of budget to make stipend program universal and slow progress on various legislations and strategies create challenges for skills reform in gaining momentum.
- success:
- The formation of NSDA, setting up National Human Resource Development Fund (NHRDF) and incorporating NSDP 2011 in the 7th Five Years Plan and construction of several TVET institutes make a positive story of the government’s commitment to skills reform.
- context:
- The government appreciates successful and resource efficient interventions for skills reform and it shows commitment to upscaling, however, the budget allocation for the same and the alignment of the system and human resources remain a constraint. Thereby sustainability of the interventions remains a challenge.
- description:
- The Lesson Learned is that, while much progress made in the past five years make a positive story of the government’s commitment to skills reform, inordinate delays in providing adequate staff in BTEB and in TVET institutes and slow progress on various legislations and on providing dedicated budgets for certain activities, create challenges for skills reform in gaining momentum. Therefore, patience is required but also the long-term horizon of interventions.
- administrative_issues:
- Aim for multi-year interventions with possibility of follow-up, with a crucial role for ILO Pardev coordinating between efforts.
