Skills Development in Kyrgyzstan (SDK)
The project addresses the needs of youth who already graduated from their formal education, but still miss adequate skills for employment. These needs should be matched by demand of private sector. There will be established and institutionalized an effective up/reskilling mechanism nationwide non-formal Vocational Education Training system in the country. Thus, skilled workforce will successfully support both (future) workers and Micro-, Small- and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

Hintergrund |
About one third of the population of Kyrgyzstan are youth (18-35 years old). As this proportion continues to grow, and the job market is unable to absorb these numbers, skills make the difference for employability. Due to the absence of educational reforms, youth faces three main constraints: As a result, youth tend to enter the non-formal labour market in very basic positions - with very low wages, often without contracts and therefore at high risk of exploitation by employers. Women are particularly affected as evidenced by the decline of their participation in the labour market (from 53% in 2013 to 42% in 2020), mostly in low-wage sectors. |
Ziele | Up-/reskilling training system is inclusive and ensures more employment opportunities as well as more skilled labour force for the private sector. |

Mittelfristige Wirkungen |

Resultate |
Erwartete Resultate: Resultate von früheren Phasen: The inception phase of the project proved (through series of meetings, interviews and workshops conducted by implementing team) the relevance of the planned interventions as both central and local government as well as business voiced the lack of skilled labour as one of the main obstacles for the country’s private sector to grow and develop further. |
