In Tanzania, UNESCO through The Better Education for Africa’s Rise II (BEAR II) project offers technical support
to help partners identify areas where TVET systems in Tanzania can be improved in terms of relevance,
quality and perception of their technical and vocational education and training (TVET) systems, with the
global objective of giving young people a better chance of accessing decent employment or of generating
self-employment.

BEAR II seeks to improve, among other aspects, the quality and relevance of TVET by working jointly with
ministries (Education, Labour, Agriculture, Environment, Regional Administration and Local Government),
public authorities in charge of TVET (VETA, NACTE), numerous private-sector organizations and trade
unions, public, private and NGO training providers, and development partners to enhance the ongoing
efforts towards governance, quality of the training and links with industry. These are activities that are
embedded in the ongoing the TVET Development Programme (TVETDP). As such, BEAR II complements
implementation of the TVET Development Programme (TVETDP). Largely, the activities of BEAR II are also the
activities outlined in TVETDP.

Employment Tanzania (SET) Project to conduct capacity building on TVET teachers and TVET Leadership

have trained 200 TVET teachers on pedagogical competences based education and training (CBET) to
