Published purpose

This project seeks to reduce poverty and contribute to economic growth by improving the ability of Tanzanian women and men to find gainful employment and self-employment in the extractives and tourism sectors. The project brings together government ministries, training institutes and private sector employers to identify the most critical labour shortages in their sectors and develop skills training programs to address these needs. The project also works to strengthen the national system for delivering skills training programs, improve the management of individual training institutions, and enhance instructors' technical and teaching skills. Ultimately, this will result in a skilled workforce that is more aligned with labour market requirements, creating more opportunities for Tanzanian women and men to contribute to and benefit from economic growth.
