Programme(s): Erasmus+ (ERASMUS+)
Topic(s): ERASMUS-EDU-2024-CB-VET
Type of action: ERASMUS Lump Sum Grants
Project ID: 101182622

Objective: B-VET project is designed through a consultative process between GWED-G and Technical Vocational Education Training (TVET) services providers. The consultation process involved Gulu University, Uganda Technical College Lira, Muni University, Adraa Agricultural College and Taakataka Uganda. TVET services providers are equally constrained to provide continuous quality services, expand their current infrastructure due to inadequate resources, and need to keep abreast with the first changing trends in technology, market demands and hence will be required to be supported under this action. Our proposed action is for 36 months and aims to improve the quality and responsiveness of VET to economic and social developments of the Northern and West-Nile region of Uganda in sub-Saharan Africa. This project is designed through a consultative process between GWED-G, Adraa Agriculture College and GULU UNIVERSITY from Uganda and VET services providers from Greece, Cyprus and Spain. B-VET aims top develop a joint training programme in accordance with the ECVET/EQF/EQAVET and Micro-credential approach, the Training Manual for trainers in Uganda, the Online Training Courses, the 2 Transnational Learning Mobility Activities and the Virtual Learning Hub to enhance the capacity of TVET providers to cover the training needs of the Labour market of the Agricultural Sector in Uganda, tackling skills mismatches and supporting the formation of an effective vocational education and training system to guarantee its sustainability. This multi-stakeholders partnership, comprising 6 partners from 3 European countries and Uganda, develops all the outputs in each partner language, ensuring their cross-border transferability. Furthermore, it assures the long-lasting effect of the project results by elaborating Policy Recommendations, able to inform the policy agendas between EU and Uganda.
