description:

In countries such as China, Viet Nam and Indonesia, SCORE Training is delivered through a mixed funding model that appears sustainable for the foreseeable future. This is important because although SMEs are reported to contribute 30-40% of costs on some courses, and there are mechanisms for matched funding in some countries, it is unlikely that SCORE Training will be fully SME-funded in the short to medium term because of barriers identified in the main report. However, SCORE offers a number of examples of good practice in creating mixed funding models. It is important to note that where these models are most developed (e.g. China, Indonesia, Viet Nam), ILO funding is not simply being replaced by another donor or funder: rather, the total amount of funding for SCORE has increased significantly. Implementation partners are accessing multiple sources of funding to deliver training and requiring SMEs to contribute as well. These mixed funding models are sustainable for as long as private and public sector agencies prioritise SME development (something that is unlikely to change for the foreseeable future). In China and Indonesia they already allow a large amount of training to be delivered with little or no ILO funding. The models themselves are devised by the implementation partners, and reflect local opportunities and conditions.
