INVITATION FOR PROPOSALS: FINANCING SKILL TRAINING FOR YOUTH EMPLOYMENT
May 8, 2018 at 12:36

news image FINANCING SKILL TRAINING FOR YOUTH EMPLOYMENT Background The Technical Education, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA) was established under the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Act of No. 13 of 1998. Among the responsibilities of TEVETA, is the management of the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (TEVET) Fund. The TEVET Fund is expected to play an important role in assisting the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) develop a high quality, sustainable, demand-driven, and equitable TEVET system. The Fund establishes a financing platform that purchases training services from public providers, on a competitive basis, for skills development in both the formal and informal sectors of the economy; This financing is available to all TEVET providers whose request for financing will be considered responsive to the disbursement criteria. The Support to Science and Technology Education Project (SSTEP) under the Ministry of Higher Education through the TEVET Fund will finance Work-Based and Entrepreneurship training in support of Window 3 - SME and Informal Sector Training. The TEVET Fund plays a critical role in the reform of the TEVET system by separating the provision of training from its financing. It also shifts the focus from quantity to quality. As a financier of training being procured from public training providers, the TEVET Fund is able to introduce standards and accountability to the system for the desired outcomes. The TEVETA through this financing will introduce performance incentives for public TEVET providers. Focus will be on purchasing training that meets market demands at an arm’s length transaction. The Fund, through its stakeholder governing body, will establish rules for spending on training services that promote national development objectives, including equitable access. Invitation to Training providers The Government of the Republic of Zambia with support from African Development Bank (ADB) under SSTEP has set aside funds towards the implementation of the Work Based and Entrepreneurship Training through the TEVET Fund. The TEVETA now invites proposals from Training Institutions registered by the Authority, under the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Act No. 13 of 1998, to present proposals for support of the TEVET Fund towards skills development for the Micro and Small Enterprises and the Informal Sector.
