CRL YALI DAKAR Training Program Open Now!

Deadline: 19 November 2019

The Skills Development Facility (SDF) is currently accepting Concept Notes for Window 3: Innovative Training.

SDF is part of the $100 million Uganda Skills Development Project (USDP) which is a Government of Uganda Project funded by the World Bank, implemented by the Private Sector Foundation Uganda. The SDF aims at promoting employer-led short term training in order to address prevailing skills imbalances and shortages in Uganda. An important element of the initiative is to facilitate collaboration between training providers and industry to promote demand driven skills development with special attention to innovative modes of training.

Window 3: Innovative Training

Window 3 deals with innovative skills training. Private and ‘autonomous’ public training institutions interested in developing new innovative models for delivery of training, new training concepts and new training programs responding to an identified need will be eligible for support. Partnerships between training providers and private companies are encouraged. Training programs or training concepts can be innovative in several ways. They may either cater for groups that have not been catered for before, the mode of training may be new in a Ugandan context, provide expertise not yet in the country, it may be based on new models in financing, e.g. through income-generation or partnerships between the training provider and a company, or the actual content of the training may be novel and be aligned to technological advancement of a product. Applicants must provide proof on the expected demand in the form of a demand assessment and the prospects for financing the innovative training program upon completion of the support.

Innovative training project to be financed by SDF must meet three criteria:
