Partner: Embassy of Switzerland, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)
Services: Evaluation assistance
Duration: March-April 2018
B-SkillFUL (Building Skills for Unemployed and Underemployed Labour) was a 4-year project (from November 1, 2015 to October 31, 2019). Funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the project had a target to improve the wellbeing of poor and disadvantaged men and women in 5 districts of Bangladesh by increasing their access to the labor market and income, while safeguarding their fundamental rights at work.
DEVCOM provided support to SDC to conduct the MTR, and assisted an International Consultant. The objectives of the MTR were to-
• Assess progress towards the project objectives (effectiveness) in the context of national skills development priorities of Bangladesh
• Assess whether the project B-SkillFUL may have to be adapted after the end of Phase 1 in 2019, to align it with the strategic direction of SDC and keeping in mind the national priorities & related SDGs
• Formulate recommendations for the remaining years of the project and how the project may have to be adapted for the following phase.
