Resumen
Descripción
Uganda s economy has been growing
steadily for the past two decades, bringing significant
improvements in economic and social conditions. The gradual
shift in economic structure from agriculture to industry and
services, the development of agribusiness, tourism and
construction, and the recent discovery of oil deposits are
all expected to increase the demand for skills. Against this
backdrop the government has renewed its focus on technical
and vocational education and training. The 10-year, $800
million Skilling Uganda Strategic Plan (2012-2021), approved
by the cabinet in December 2011, captures the scope of its
ambition and awaits support from the country s development
partners. The Plan seeks to reform the Business, Technical
and Vocational Education and Training (BTVET) sub-sector
with the goal of fostering skills, raising worker and firm
productivity, and increasing Uganda s competitiveness in
global markets in the coming decades. In an effort to deepen
dialogue with the Ugandan government on the challenges in
implementing the plan the World Bank took advantage of a new
diagnostic tool, SABER-WfD, to assess the institutional
bottlenecks that stand in the way of success. The results
draw attention to a few priority areas for immediate action
among those identified in Skilling Uganda.
