Detailed description of project Back

“Support to the TVET Sector in Pakistan” (TVET I) has a total cost of 21.17 M EUR where EU’s contribution is 19.47 M EUR. The project purpose is to improve the quality and outreach of skill trainings provision predominantly in the rural areas of Pakistan in response to the needs of the economic sector. The project has two main components. The first component is strengthening the planning, coordination and implementation capacity of relevant Technical Education and Vocational Training Authorities (TEVTAs) and service providers at the provincial level. This component is being implemented by GIZ GmbH. The second component provides qualitative, innovative and relevant programmes in response to the needs of the economic sectors for a public targeted predominantly in the rural areas. Under this component, six grant contracts have been signed with five International NGOs (ACTED, Care International, Plan international, Concern Worldwide, Oxfam Novib) and one local organisation (Technology Upgradation and Skill Development Company (TUCDEC)).

The global objective of the assignment is to conduct a final evaluation of the project “Supporting TVET Sector in Pakistan”.

The specific objective of the final evaluation will be to assess project implementation in terms of relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact to-date, and sustainability of the activities that have been undertaken.

The final evaluation, which is foreseen in the Technical and Administrative Provisions of the project’s Financing Agreement, will provide the decision-makers in the Government of Pakistan, the EU and other key stakeholders with an independent assessment of i) the overall performance of the project, paying particular attention to the impact of the project actions against its objectives, and ii) the sustainability/ phasing out strategy of the project and its effectiveness and feasibility. The evaluation will also identify key lessons and propose practical recommendations for follow-up and replication actions.
