Uganda - Skills Development in Refugee and Host Communities Project

Overview & Synopsis

Component 2: Preparation of the modularized competency-based training curricula, which involves identification of relevant trades for refugees and host communities in selected RHDs, reviewing existing and relevant CBT curricula, and developing new CBT curricula for craftsmen and artisans’ levels for relevant trades identified to be delivered in the SDCs, in consultation with industries and employers. c. Co mponent 3: Delivery of the modularized competency-based training curricula, which involves deployment, where necessary, of additional TVET trainers; capacity building activities, including support for TVET trainers through the facilitation of skills development and training of trainers; and procurement and supply of training materials, and implementation of the CBT curricula. d. Component 4: Project management, monitoring and evaluation, which supports the establishment and functioning of a project coordination mechanism mainstreamed within the MoES that will support the project implementation, supervision, monitoring and evaluation, procurement, financial management, and auditing.
