Good practices generated will continue to be incorporated in the concept notes and project documents developed by the Regional and Country Offices in 2024 and beyond.

action_plan:

Several of the knowledge products and good practices generated by the Programme are being promoted at the regional and global levels during 2024 (e.g. Standard Operating Procedure, lifelong learning analytical framework and toolkit, etc.). The good practices generated along with the lessons learned in the areas of gender equality and social inclusion are also being incorporated in project design and resource mobilization initiatives led by the Regional and Country Offices.

title:

Consider how the elements of SfP-SEA that generated positive results in gender equality, the empowerment of women, and the inclusion of other vulnerable groups might be incorporated into future programme design in the region and globally. The programme’s strong focus on improving gender equality, disability and social inclusion resulted in some important reforms in participating TVET institutions and demonstrated models to address these issues at a TVET systems and policy level. Examples included the establishment of Standard Operating Procedures and Taskforces to address sexual harassment and violence in TVET institutions in Indonesia, the design of training programmes that accommodate the needs of women with competing responsibilities in indigenous communities in The Philippines, and mechanisms to enhance Recognition of Prior Learning and to access micro-credentials in Malaysia. Lessons learned from these initiatives should be considered in future ILO programme design and opportunities sought to incorporate such innovations. Also, with a number of countries now reviewing their TVET financing systems, gender equity and inclusion need also to be considered. The programme’s pioneering research report “Financing mechanisms for promoting social inclusion in skills and lifelong learning systems: Global overview of current practices and policy options” provides a good basis for future work in this area.
