Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The objective of the project is to enhance the quality and relevance of skills development in Nigeria.

The project has four components:

  1. Incentivizing Public-Private Partnerships for Enhanced Labour-Market Orientation and Improved Quality and Relevance of Skills Development in Public Technical Colleges. This component proposes to boldly address skills gaps in the labour market by improving teaching and learning quality and relevance in technical colleges.
  2. Improved Skills Formation for the Informal Sector. This component aims at breaking the vicious cycle of low skills formation and low productivity in selected informal sector clusters.
  3. Capacity Building for Enhanced Quality and Effectiveness in Skills Development. This component aims to address capacity constraints in selected regulatory and support functions of the Nigerian skills system that impact on quality of training delivery and management effectiveness in the system, namely technical teachers and instructors training, the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF), coordination and management capacities in public agencies in charge of TVET.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF WORLD BANK

The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org. You can learn more about the Inspection Panel and how to file a complaint at: http://ewebapps.worldbank.org/apps/ip/Pages/Home.aspx.
