comments:

• Governmental staff from the MOL, MEHE, MOA and MOSA. • Other semi-governmental staff from the NEO. • Other partners, such as UNICEF, Italian Cooperation, FAO, UNDP, UNHCR, and UNRWA. • Italian and UNICEF NGOs beneficiaries. • Employers from the private sector. • Other participant TVET centres, including the governmental, private sector and NGOs, in addition to national TVET staff.

challenges:

Since there are programmatic linkages between the different training workshops conducted, substituting trainees with new people was a key challenge to providing consistency across training workshops; this was especially the case with governmental staff.

success:

One of the corrective actions taken was to allow enough time for a proper training needs assessment, especially as some of the training participants in the first training workshop indicated the content was new for them, while others indicated that it was above their skill level.

context:

Despite the fact that the project developed consultation exercises and profiled participants with a rapid needs assessment prior to training, these were not sufficient. Considering the limited time of the training, participants should advise on their non-attendance. It is important for trainees to turn what was agreed on during the training and other meetings into tangible actions, guided by decision-makers. Stability of attendees to the different training workshops needs to be maintained.

description:

Better selection of the training participants and training needs is required, particularly from the governmental entities guided by pre-defined criteria and clear identification of training needs is considered as one of the lessons learned. This is important to ensure participants’ dedication and to work as champions for TVET, and be targeted in a TOT programme to ensure sustainability of project outcomes.

administrative_issues:

The evaluation found this to be one of the better steps taken by ILO during the project implementation.
