comments:

Key national government (MoE, NSDA, MOLE, MoEWOE) and employers stakeholders (BEF, Employers’ Associations), ILO and GAC.

challenges:

Creating enthusiasm among government and employers organisations to take concrete steps towards strengthening gender mainstreaming in the TVET system as well as in the workplace is challenging in Bangladesh.

success:

B-SEP’s interventions with respect to Disability Inclusion (which even received an award for an innovative policy) both in skills supply and demand sides could be considered as a good practice.

context:

While trying to improve the access of the disadvantaged groups to skills, particularly women and Persons with disabilities, the B-SEP project has learnt about the significant philanthropic spirit and potential of private sector in making their work place disability inclusive, however, it needs considerable efforts to bring together their potential to make the labour market inclusive.

description:

The Lesson Learned is that contrary to the government’s and the employers’ positive response to disability inclusion, it is challenging to create enthusiasm among them to take concrete steps towards strengthening gender mainstreaming in the TVET system as well as in the workplace. It needs very serious attention for coordination of Development Partners in developing a joint strategy to engender the skills system and the labour market.

administrative_issues:

The design of a new project in this area in Bangladesh needs to focus squarely on engendering policies and processes, which fit well with GAC’s new policy of FIAP and with ILO’s P&B.
