The development objective of the Priority Skills for Growth and Youth Empowerment (PSGYE) Program for Rwanda is to improve employability for target beneficiaries and strengthen institutional capacity for enhanced service delivery in skills development. The Program scope draws from lessons learned and evidence of five principles for building effective and efficient tertiary education and optimizing its contribution to equitable and green growth: (i) building diversified systems, (ii) investing smartly in new technologies, (iii) ensuring equity in access and financing, (iv) achieving efficiency in resource utilization, and (v) acquiring resilience in service delivery so that learning continues. Within the Government of Rwanda (GoR’s) overarching program (NSDEPS), the PSGYE seeks to: (a) increase opportunities for the acquisition of market-demanded skills by vulnerable and not in education, employment, or training (NEET) youths; (b) improve the quality and market-relevance of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and degree programs for the workforce; and (c) strengthen governance of the overall skills development system. As such, these objectives comprise the Results Areas (RAs) of the program for results (PforR) operation. RA 1: increase opportunities for the acquisition of market-demanded skills by vulnerable and NEET youths; RA 2: improve quality and market relevance of target TVET and degree programs for the workforce; and RA 3: strengthen governance of the overall skills development system.The Program Development Objective is to improve employability for target beneficiaries and strengthen institutional capacity for enhanced service delivery in skills development. |
