Deadline:30th August 2024
Are you an organisation that excels at ensuring all of Africa’s young people have equal access to technical and vocational education and training (TVET) opportunities?
Do you have programmes that specifically target women and girls, people from poorer backgrounds, persons with disabilities or migrants?
If yes, then the African Union Commission and the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) invite you to enter this exciting competition to find, celebrate and grow the number of good practices in ensuring equitable and inclusive access to TVET across all African countries.
Purpose
- This call for good practice submissions seeks to amplify the voices and experiences of TVET practitioners, and stakeholders across Africa who are working towards advancing equity and inclusion.
- The ultimate purpose of the call is to develop a Toolbox which has a “Rich collection of Equitable and Inclusive TVET resources/”, that features good practices which have been gathered. By capturing a diverse range of innovative and effective methods, the treasure trove will evolve into a more comprehensive resource for advancing inclusion in TVET across various AU Member States and contexts, supporting their efforts to implement inclusive policies and strategies in their respective countries and offering opportunities to socially discriminated groups. This process will further contribute to the ongoing review of the Continental TVET Strategy articulating the emerging trends.
- The Collection will be a digital resource which will be hosted on the continental knowledge platform ASPYEE (African Skill Portal for Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship).
Benefits
- All submissions will be evaluated for featuring in a Toolbox which has a “Rich collection of Equitable and Inclusive TVET resources.
- Each of the three organisations with the highest rating (score) will receive an all-expenses-paid trip for two people to Africa Skills Week 2024 in Accra, Ghana, from 14 to 18 October, including all travel, accommodation and meals.*
