MAHE TVET Process

The UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa in Nairobi coordinates the Better Education for Africa’s Rise project (BEAR II) and convenes the TVET Mahe Process, an initiative geared towards strengthening TVET in the 13 member states.

BEAR II is a joint effort between UNESCO and the Republic of Korea to improve the TVET systems of five beneficiary countries in Eastern Africa.

Mahe process advocates for the improvement of TVET across East Africa through sharing of information and working towards regional harmonisation and mutualization.

The need for integrating ICT is very critical in the post-COVID-19 world that has disrupted TVET activities. This brings about the need for a TVET regional platform for member states to collaborate, exchange information and support in harmonisation and mutualization activities under the Mahe Process.

TVET Value Chain

The TVET Value Chain is a model that provides an overview of the TVET ecosystem. It has eight primary functions and sixteen supporting functions. Each function has multiple sub-functions.

Explore and learn more about the TVET Value Chain sub-functions by clicking on the components.

The TVET Value Chain model helps countries improve their TVET ecosystem. Each of the TVET Mahe Process member countries have shared their country assessment using the TVET Value Chain, accessible on each country’s profile page on this platform.

National Skills Gateways

The Better Education for Africa’s Rise II project (BEAR II) is a joint initiative of UNESCO and the Republic of Korea to cooperate with five countries of Eastern Africa – Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Tanzania and Uganda – to improve the relevance, quality and perception of their Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems.

Five National Skills Gateway platforms, one for each country under BEAR II, have been developed under the Better Education for Africa’s Rise II Project (BEAR II), a joint initiative between UNESCO and the Republic of Korea. These are managed and operated by national host institutions in collaboration with all TVET of the respective countries.

The National Skills Gateways are collaborative online platforms that bring together all TVET stakeholders - youth, job-seekers, parents, trainers, training providers, employers, development partners and the government. There is a dedicated portal for each stakeholder.

National Skills Gateways:

Provide centralised, country-specific TVET information
Provide details of training programmes, qualifications and training providers
Showcase occupational profiles
Provide information related to career guidance, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities
Provide up-to-date information on the labour market and linking to other management information systems (MIS) if available
Provide TVET resources in the form of publications, multimedia and other platforms
Provide calendar of events and links to other TVET related opportunities and programmes
Showcase success stories that promote a positive perception of TVET
