The target users of this lesson learnt is the ILO and other development practitioners working in the area of Skill Development, including Skolkovo Management School.

challenges:

In Russia interviews conducted with the implementing partner SKOLKOVO and partners in the region revealed that no attention was paid to the inclusion of vulnerable groups and/or specific issues to address their needs neither in Skills Technology Foresight STF sessions nor in TVET management programmes. For example, the education programmes developed by the TVET institutions that participated in Skolkovo initiatives in Khabarovsk have not addressed any vulnerability issues thus making no advanced progress in promoting employment opportunities for vulnerable groups.

success:

The interviews conducted with key stakeholders in the project participating countries revealed that, participation in the International Training Workshop “Alignment of strategic objectives and performance indicators for skills development to the international Human Resource Development (HRD) policy recommendations and experience of G20 countries” and related project activities allowed them to identify vulnerable groups in their countries for consideration of their needs in future policies. In Kyrgyzstan vulnerable groups were included in the policy indicators for the Education Development Strategy (2020-2040).

context:

Though vulnerable groups were identified in the Project document, the specific indicators and activities were not integrated in Project’s design, in particular in the Logical Framework.

description:

The absence of specific indicators targeting the needs of vulnerable groups at the Project design stage resulted in the risk of neglecting their rights at the policy level, which in turn may halt the achievement of the Project’s development objective; to promote equal access to employment opportunities as well as equal treatment including increased incomes, for inclusive and sustainable growth.

administrative_issues:

The ILO Skills and Employability Branch should conduct Gender, Human Rights and Non-Discrimination Analysis in skills and employment sector in the Project’s participant countries and develop a Non-Discrimination Strategy. It is also recommended to improve project design by developing specific indicators on vulnerable groups in coordination with ILO Tripartite Constituents and governments.
