Learning Brief : strengthening skills anticipation systems and processes

This document describes:

• How it was done?
• Who was involved?
• What good practices were applied?
• What were the challenges and lessons?

This learning brief provides an overview of the action planning underway in some countries to address this issue. It all begins with analyzing the situation, formation of appropriate teams, development of action plan and strategizing to make things happen. These four key elements are central to effectively strengthening systems that deal with information in labour markets.

The Brief was developed under the framework of the Skills Anticipation component of the Skills Initiative for Africa (SIFA) Programme.

SIFA (2019–2022) is a programme of the African Union Commission and African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), assisted financially by the German Government and European Union.

AUDA-NEPAD partnered with the International Labour Organization (ILO) to build the skills anticipation capacities of African Union Members States, as a means for improving the development of evidence-based skills policies, strategies and implementation.
