Grant Description

El Salvador - Human Development Project - EDUCATION AND TRAINING ACTIVITY: The activity seeks to increase education and skill levels of the Northern Zone's poor by expanding the quality of, and access to, vocational and technical education and training.

It is comprised of three sub-activities: technical assistance; formal technical education; and non-formal skills development.

The Technical Assistance Sub-Activity will bolster capacity of institutions and organizations involved in policy, planning, and administration of education and training in the Northern Zone.

MCC Funding will be used to procure the services of a long-term technical assistance provider that will support Implementing Entities.

The Formal Technical Education Sub-Activity aims to strengthen technical/vocational education institutions in the Northern Zone, so that more youth can gain marketable skills and thereby increase their opportunities for employment and income generation.

The Non-Formal Skills Development Sub-Activity will complement the Formal Technical Education Sub-Activity by supporting non-credit, short term and pre-employment training offerings.
