The project aims to support the efforts of the Ministry of Education (MoE) of Myanmar with implementing the National Education Strategic Plan (NESP) 2016 - 2021. Thereby, the project shall focus on expanding the access to TVET for various target groups and to enhance the labour market relevance of TVET, resulting in improved practical training offered at supported TVET institutes.

This shall be achieved by

• supplying training equipment (Component 1 - Investment Measures); and
• a needs-oriented training and support programme to secure its effective and sustainable operation (Component 2 - Accompanying Measures).

In cooperation with the GIZ TC component, the supported TVET institutes GTI Insein, GTI Shwe Pyi Thar and GTHS Ywarma shall be supported as a cluster to efficitate the project outcomes of the FC and TC measures.

As a specific element, the project contains a photovoltaic (PV) system for the ITC Sinde operating under the MoI. This requires a feasibility study and a comprehensive energy concept based on a preliminary energy concept submitted by a local consulting company as well as the procurement and installation of the PV system with needs-oriented capacity building measures for effective and sustainable operation.
