Background and Summary

The Better Education for Africa’s Rise II (BEAR II) project is a joint initiative of UNESCO and the Republic of Korea (RoK), to be implemented over five years from 2017 to 2021. The project aims to support five Eastern African countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania, in improving the relevance, quality and perception of their TVET systems, with the global objective of giving young people a better chance of accessing decent employment or of generating self-employment. BEAR II draws on the knowledge and experience from the first BEAR project which was conducted in 2011 - 2016 and supported TVET systems in five countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), namely: Botswana, DR Congo, Malawi, Namibia and Zambia. The BEAR project contributes to global efforts to implement the Education 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, in particular the sustainable development goal 4 (SDG 4) of Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, declared in Incheon, the Republic of Korea, in 2016. The project does so by aligning itself to the UNESCO Strategy for TVET (2016 – 2021).1 In addition, the BEAR II project falls under the purview of the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA) (2016-2025), the framework adopted by the African Union in 2015 for transforming the education and training systems in Africa. In this context, the project takes into consideration the recommendations of the Mahe Process, adopted during the TVET Sub-Regional Forum for Eastern Africa in 2016, on the theme “Skills for Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship”. The BEAR II intervention in the Eastern African context is planned in four phases: the formulation phase, the inception phase, the implementation phase and the closure and scale-up phase. The below figure presents the proposed timeframe of the project over 2017-2021.

The formulation phase was successfully completed in the year 2017, during which the project formulation report was drafted based on a feasibility study conducted across the beneficiary countries. Country level proposals narrowed down the project intervention to focus on a key sector in each beneficiary country, selected based on the national priorities (see annex). The consolidated project formulation report presents an overall work plan of the project to be executed over the five years. Following the formulation phase, the BEAR II project was launched during an official ceremony held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, on 11-13 December 2017 with the cooperation of the Korean Ministry of Education. The launch event helped deepen the understanding of the project among national actors and strengthened their commitment towards its implementation. The project is currently in its inception phase whose objective is to initiate implementation of the project by ensuring the setting up of necessary monitoring mechanisms and governance structures at the national level. The expected results of the inception phase, in each of the beneficiary countries, are: elaboration of global operational work plan, elaboration of annual operational work plan for year 2018, setting up of project steering committee and the project technical committee to ensure monitoring and implementation and appointment of the national project officer. Furthermore, preliminary activities to start implementation are also currently underway. This progress report aims to provide an update on the main activities conducted in the period from November 2017 to May 2018 under the BEAR II project, as well as the plan of activities to be conducted in the following six months.

1. Main activities executed (December 2017-May 2018)

The BEAR II project kick started with the formulation phase in 2017, during which a feasibility study was conducted entailing desk research accompanied by a series of scoping missions in each country. The scoping missions consisted of a series of meetings and consultations with the governments and key stakeholders in beneficiary countries, which helped identify key issues being faced by the TVET sector in each national context. The feasibility study contributed to the development of country specific project proposals, which were approved at the national level through validation workshops. The country level proposals narrowed down the project intervention to focus on a key sector, selected based on the national priorities. The below table presents the selected sectors of intervention in the BEAR II countries. Table 1. Target Sectors in BEAR II beneficiary countries

Target sectors

Ethiopia Agro-processing

Kenya Environmental technology

Madagascar Textile, Clothing and Accessories

Tanzania Agri-business and creative industry (Handicrafts)

The main outcome of the formulation phase was the elaboration of a consolidated project formulation report that presents the overall work plan of the project to be executed over the five years in each of the beneficiary countries. Since the last report period in November 2017, following are main activities executed under the BEAR II project:

1.1. Official Launching Ceremony

Following the national validation of country specific project proposals, the BEAR II project was launched during an official ceremony held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, on 11-13 December 2017. The launch ceremony was organized in cooperation with the Korean Ministry of Education at the Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade (aT) Center. More than 30 participants from 10 African countries (BEAR II and BEAR I beneficiary countries) joined the three-day project launching workshop. The participants consisted of representatives from UNESCO, high officials from Ministries in charge of TVET and representatives of other stakeholders including the private sector from the five Eastern African beneficiary countries. National representatives and representatives of key beneficiary stakeholders of BEAR I beneficiary countries also participated in the BEAR II launch workshop. The launch event was organized to provide a platform to hold discussions among the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea, UNESCO and the representatives of beneficiary countries of the BEAR II project,

Page 8: BEAR II Project - UNESCO · The main outcome of the formulation phase was the elaboration of a consolidated project formulation report that presents the overall work plan of the project

around the objectives, implementation and expected outcomes of the project. Representatives of the BEAR I countries enriched the discussion by sharing their experiences in relation to the main outcomes of the project. Furthermore, the participants of the launch workshop also participated in study visits to TVET institutions, small and medium enterprises, and business incubators in the Republic of Korea. On the final day of workshop, a debriefing meeting was held wherein outcomes of the workshop were discussed. In addition, the high-level meeting provided an opportunity to explore cross-country collaboration among the BEAR beneficiary countries as well as areas of cooperation with the actors of the Korean TVET sector. The BEAR II formulation report was finalised in February 2018 based on the discussions that took place during this workshop.

1.2. Inception workshops

The BEAR II project is currently in its inception phase, whose objective is to initiate implementation of the project by ensuring the setting up of necessary monitoring mechanisms and governance structures at the national level. This is being done though the following steps:

1. Elaborating concrete operational work plans for project implementation i.e. a global operational plan (GOP) for the following four years of the project (2018-2021) and a detailed annual operational plan (AOP) for Year 1 of implementation (2018) for each beneficiary country;

2. Ensuring the setting up of a project steering committee to govern the project implementation and the project technical committee to lead implementation of project activities. The technical committees have an important role in developing work plans, which are approved by the steering committee.

3. Ensuring the placement of National Project Officers (NPO) in each beneficiary country to conduct day-to-day administration of the project.

Between January and June 2018, four official launches and inception workshops were organised in Madagascar, Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya, wherein global operational plans and detailed annual operational workplans for year 2018 were elaborated in consultation with the key institutions and stakeholders in the TVET sector as well as the target sector. The official launch and inception workshop in Tanzania will take place on 2-3 July 2018. In Tanzania, the launch workshop could not take place earlier as the government decided not to engage in any donor related activities until July 2018. This is a rule adopted by the Tanzanian government to ensure that administrative and government-led operations such as budgeting and adoption of regulations are implemented as a priority.

1.2.1. Madagascar (Target Sector: Textile, clothing and accessories)

The BEAR II Project in Madagascar was officially launched on 28 February and 1 March 2018 in Antananarivo. The official launch ceremony took place on 28 February, the inception workshop and the first meeting of the Project Steering Committee (PSC) were held on 1 March. The TVET and Employment Minister of Madagascar (MEETFP) officially launched the Project in the presence of the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Madagascar and 60 participants, including 10

representatives of the private sector. During its first meeting, the PSC validated the work plan for Year 1 developed during the inception workshop. For the three expected results of the project (relevance, quality and attractiveness), each line of action of the work plan was reviewed and validated by the participants, specifying the responsible entity and the stakeholders to be consulted and involved (See Annex). In addition to the work Plan, the PSC also validated the Draft ministerial decree that officially establishes it and defines its remit. The PSC in Madagascar comprises of 13 members divided as follows: seven (7) government/public sector representatives and six (6) coming from the private sector. There was also an agreement that that the PSC would be led by a rotating presidency between the public sector, including the MEETFP, and the private sector. The PSC also defined and agreed on the timeframe for the implementation of the project activities. The national focal point presented an information and communication platform designed to promote the project in Madagascar. The follow-up activities in Madagascar will consist of the finalization of the recruitment of the National Project Officer (NPO) in charge of the project coordination for BEAR II in the country. The person recruited is expected to take up functions in July 2018.

1.2.2. Ethiopia (Target Sector: Agro-processing)

The official launch, inception workshop and Project Steering Committee meeting of the BEAR II Project in Ethiopia took place back-to-back on 15 to 16 March 2018 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Government representatives, including the State Minister for TVET and Head of the Federal TVET Agency, Mr. Tashume Lemma, key stakeholders in the TVET sector as well as in the target sector of intervention i.e. agro processing participated in the events. In total, 40 Ethiopian participants participated in the events. The acting director of the UNESCO Liaison Office in Addis Ababa, Dr. Yumiko Yokozeki, and the State Minister for TVET opened the workshop. The institutions that are involved in the project include the Federal TVET Agency, the Federal TVET Institute and two TVET colleges offering programs in agro-processing. There were also a few representatives from other organizations such as the Addis Ababa TVET Bureau and the Ministry of Agriculture. The focus of the BEAR II in Ethiopia is the development of the agro-processing sector.

4. Sustainability

An important component of the BEAR II project is that of carrying out follow up activities in the beneficiary

countries of the BEAR I project, to ensure the sustainability of its results. The BEAR I project was

implemented in 2011-2016 in five countries of the SADC, namely Botswana, the Democratic Republic of

Congo, Malawi, Namibia and Zambia. The project aimed to increase the quality of TVET provision and its

relevance to the needs of industry, to improve access, especially for women and disadvantageous groups,

and to enhance the reputation and attractiveness of TVET for learners. The project focused on three core

activities– (i) labour market analysis and curriculum development, (ii) TVET teachers and managers

training and (iii) developing TVET-MIS (TVET Management Information System) in four of the five

countries. In place of TVET-MIS, a skills competition was organised in Namibia.

After the closing of the BEAR I project, the focus of the follow-up actions, as described in section 2.2, was

agreed upon between UNESCO and each of the beneficiary countries. For this, a total amount of US

$ 375,000 has been earmarked in the BEAR II budget to be spent in BEAR I countries over a period of two

years (2018-2019). The allocated amount will focus on the operationalisation and further scaling up of

TVET-MIS in Botswana, DRC, Malawi and Zambia. The scope of the TVET MIS will be enlarged by increasing

the number of TVET institutions covered as well as the number of indicators covered. The provision of

necessary equipment to support the MIS will also be provided. In Namibia, the focus will be on

strengthening capacities for the National Skills Competition.
