PREAMBLE

The National Youth Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Forum was held on Thursday, September 5, 2023, at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, Legon.  The forum was organized by the Foundation for Security and Development in Africa (FOSDA) with the support of Oxfam and funding from Danida. It was attended by representatives of youth groups, CSOs, government officials, TVET Schools, and other stakeholders.

The forum was a one-day event that took the form of presentations, panels, and plenary discussions. The forum reviewed the implementation of Ghana’s 5-year strategic plan (2017-2022) and FOSDA’s report on the My TVET My Report project, a youth-led monitoring of TVET schools nationwide. The report focused on accessibility and participation, quality, Infrastructure financing, and Adaptation of Green TVET. The panel discussions explored the views and experiences of participants on the reforms of the TVET sector in the last five years.
