Vocational Training

The "vocational training" activity, with a budget of some $87.3  million, aims to develop and improve the quality of vocational training and strengthen the links between supply and demand for skills. This activity has two components: (i) the establishment of the "Charaka" fund dedicated to financing the creation or extension of vocational training centres managed within the framework of public-private partnerships (PPP) and the conversion of existing public vocational training centres from a traditional management model piloted by the public sector to a model driven by private sector demand and managed in PPPs; (ii) support for the operationalization of vocational training reform.
