The main results areas of the operation are: (i) reinforcing governance of the skills development system; (ii) ensuring provision of quality training programs with market relevance; (iii) expanding opportunities for continuous upgrading ofjob-relevant skills for sustained employability; and (iv) capacity building for implementation.
