Technical Vocational Education & Training (TVET) in the agricultural sector in Africa

The German Government, through GIZ, supports the African Union (AU) and the Nepad Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA) to strengthen agriculture in Africa through skills development. The projects “Supporting agricultural technical vocational education and training (ATVET) in Africa through NEPAD /CAADP” and “CAADP Agricultural Technical Vocational Education and Training (ATVET) for Women” form the framework for the consultancy work. The consultants are responsible for the implementation of activities in 12 pilot countries and at the NEPAD agency relating to curricula development along agricultural value chains, training of trainers, organisational development and M&E. These activities support the following project objectives: “ATVET, as an innovative concept, is successfully implemented in selected pilot countries within the CAADP framework” and “Labour-market-oriented and income-enhancement training for women in the agricultural and food sector is used in selected pilot countries”.
