Skills for Employment Investment Program - Tranche 1

The multitranche financing facility (MFF) modality is appropriate for the phased Implementation of major reforms. It also proved suitable for the new training partnership model introduced by this investment program, which took time to take off within both the government and the private sector. This is because the stakeholders deemed it important to familiarize themselves first with the model— learn which aspects were working well, which ones did not. and subsequently modify or redesign those aspects that proved inappropriate or ineffective. The time and effort required to develop the new training partnership into a viable model, and the lessons therefrom, were incorporated in the design of subsequent tranches.
