comments:

The AUC, ILO, the government, UCCDs/universities as well as other relevant stakeholders, Technical Officers, Monitoring and Evaluation Officers.

challenges:

The lack of LMI did not allow the UCCDs and graduate students to understand the labour market. Most of them had very weak data and track record of graduate tracing.

success:

Besides supporting the implementation, the LMO continued to champion for research for accurate LMI and will continue to engage with other partners, including the universities.

context:

The design was based on the country context and the underlying root causes of the development objectives well-articulated. The needs assessment, tracer studies and enterprise surveys carried out to establish the prevailing status of LMI and disability friendly systems/infrastructure with focus on UCCDs and addressing challenges of graduate employment and disability inclusion informed the project design.

description:

Increased awareness of accurate concepts is the initial step in changing the mindset; knowledge sharing is a critical step to changing culture. Practical training and coaching of the staff made the staff more confident in dealing with disabled students

administrative_issues:

There were structures encompassed in institutional arrangements which ensured policy and strategic guidance guaranteeing successful delivery of the project and the various partners, including the government had a direct interest in the project.
