title:

1) Continue activities on skills reform as it is no less relevant now than it was at the inception of B-SEP, and thereby continue to ensure support over longer periods of time from the TVET-R project through B-SEP to future interventions to allow for full development of strategies and capacities and to further enhance productivity and economic growth. As a continuation of TVET-R, B-SEP has clearly developed as a series of elements/components but most of them do need more time and focus, particularly because legislation and inclusion in national budgets are generally quite slow to materialize. These elements include for example policy development, private sector involvement, TVET institutions, apprenticeships, gender and disability inclusion, etc. (see also Annex 11 for an overview of the steps needed to sustain benefits according to key stakeholders with respect to five selected issues). While continuing activities on skills reform, these also need to include:  Align the future interventions with the forthcoming GoB’s 8th Five-Year plan.  Continue to ensure there are reform/development activities outside the Dhaka region.
