Vocational skills development is key for improving production and expanding opportunities for employment and self-employment. The project aims to reduce poverty and inequality by enhancing access to the labour market. It seeks to strengthen vocational skills and certify competences with an emphasis on young people and adults, promote the quality of training centres, and the shared responsibility of public/private stakeholders. Strategies cover both the national and the local level.

Contexte Bolivia has been able to implement a pro-poor growth policy due to the high price of gas; however, the work focussing on urban micro-enterprises and rural family-based agriculture remains precarious. Vocational education has great potential to reduce poverty but it is still underrated and there is little connection between the training courses on offer and the demand for skilled workers. Companies invest very little in upgrading their employees’ skills yet recognise the importance of technical, basic and socio-emotional skills.
Objectifs Contribute to greater economic and social equity by improving access to employment for the population vulnerable to poverty and giving priority to sectors with productive and employment potential.
Groupes cibles 35’000 beneficiaries in vocational training and on short training courses (70% young people and 50% women), with priority given to those living in moderate poverty. The Ministry of Education will award competence certificates to 28’000 people that have learnt a trade on the job, targeting people living in moderate and extreme poverty.
