Eritrea Vocational Skills Training
Building upon a successful pilot phase (2017-2019), Switzerland will continue to contribute to two well established NGO-ted initiatives on technical and vocational education and training in Eritrea. The initiatives aim at improving the quality of teaching in targeted vocational skills institutions and testing the possibility of engaging in entrepreneurial activities. Ultimately the goal is to contribute to giving better life perspectives and job-opportunities to young Eritreans in their home country.

Contexte | The Eritrean economy is controlled by the state and the private sector is almost non-existent. The national service (military and civilian) keeps young people between 18 and 40 in —state attributed- employment with very little pay arid perspectives. This situation remains the main driver of asylum applications of young Eritreans in Europe, including in Switzerland. The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector suffers from many shortcomings: underqualified teachers, outdated teaching methods and material, insufficient teachlng infrastructure, inefficient strategic and institutional embedment, very limited outreach. |

Groupes cibles |
Main target groups: the teachers and other staff of the targeted schools, the National Confederation of Eritrean Workers, the Department of TVET under the Ministry Ultimate beneficiaries: learners in the TVE centers (about 1000 youth and 300 employed workers) |
Effets à moyen terme |

Résultats |
Principaux résultats attendus: Revision of curricula, development of learning modules for soft skills (such as entrepreneurial skills), rehabilitation of learning infrastructure, equipping young graduates with a kit (basic tools, microcredits) to start up their entrepreneurial activities; about 1000 youth and 3000 employed workers benefitting from teaching of increased quality.
