ADB funded regional survey of TVET skills development in the Pacific


The Asian Development Bank funded a Regional Skills Development Study that was executed by the Forum Secretariat in 2006-2007. Fifteen reports were written that will contribute towards a regional synthesis report. This regional report is still being edited by the ADB in Manila . However, the Forum Secretariat have put the other reports on their website They contain a wealth of information on the status of skills development/technical and vocational education and training in most of their Pacific member countries. Two country reports are yet to be finalized, but 11 country reports, a literature review and a survey of employers and employees can be found here for download. It is hoped that the last two reports will be uploaded soon.


The country reports are comprehensive and provide excellent up-to-date information on formal/informal TVET, enterprise-based training, private training institutions as well as future plans for TVET and analysis of key issues.

If you would like a copy of the final draft of the regional report, please contact Henry Ivarature at PIFS.
