Key Information

Luxembourg Development Cooperation has long worked with the Government of Cabo Verde on the development of technical and vocational education and training (TVET), progressively moving from technical education towards vocational training projects and a genuine programme to support the development of the sector through budget support. Luxembourg development cooperation has therefore engaged in the construction and equipment of several new institutions, training of trainers and managers in the development of a quality system and in the implementation of programmes for various target groups looking for job qualifications or willing to engage in a gainful employment. These interventions have contributed to the evolution of sector governance by restructuring the vocational training sector and the introducing new methods that enable better coordination between the institutions and stakeholders involved in the implementation of programmes across the entire territory. The CVE/081 programme focuses on enhancing the employability of vocational training beneficiaries, especially young people and women, in three ways: organisation and articulation of the actors involved in the sector of vocational training for increased efficiency, better matching supply with market expectations and strengthening the management of education centres, and increased technical and financial viability of vocational training institutions.
