Outcome 1: State institutions provide the legal and regulatory framework that is enabling a functional VET system based on the new VET law. (macro-level)

Outcome 2: The new VET body and private sector organisations ensure joint responsibility for the provision of VET services. (meso-level)

Outcome 3: Private sector and colleges jointly provide improved skills and qualifications for female and male A-VET students, graduates and professionals. (micro-level)

Expected results:  

1.1: State institutions establish a new VET body, provide an inclusive VET policy framework and develop private sector involvement mechanisms.

2.1: Private sector organizations are functional and have enough capacities to be involved in VET.

2.2: The new VET body is functional and has capacities to coordinate VET system as per its role and responsibilities. 

3.1: Colleges offer high-quality VET services through updated curricula and teaching methods in A-VET.

3.2: Colleges have capacities to establish partnerships with the private sector, provide career guidance, address issues with gender equality and social inclusion, facilitate and promote A-VET.

Results from previous phases:   As a result of MAVETA Phase 1, significant milestones were achieved such as the adoption of the new VET law (May 2024), introduction of dual curricula in six agricultural professions, enrolment of over 400 students in new or better vocational skills development, building capacities of six partner colleges, and over 40 companies/farms to offer highquality apprenticeships. The lessons learnt and challenges are related to legal alignment complexities and weak institutional capacitities, especially within state institutions and VET colleges. Low teacher salaries and a shortage of qualified instructors impede quality. Private sector involvement remains limited and unsystematic. Additional issues include access to VET, low learner motivation, and a lack of sustainable and scalable mechanisms for work-based learning.
