Enabel in Uganda and the Ministry of Education and Sports are jointly implementing a 5-year project (2015- 2020) to Support the implementation of Skilling Uganda strategy. This project is currently supported by the Belgian Government, the Irish Government and the European Union. The “Skilling Uganda” strategic plan (2012- 2021) is expected to transform Business Technical and Vocational Education and Training (BTVET) in Uganda into a comprehensive system of skills development for employment, enhanced productivity and growth.

The Support to Skilling Uganda (SSU) project of ENABEL aims at playing a vital role in accelerating and promoting the BTVET reform process foreseen in the Skilling Uganda (SU) Strategy. It is also working towards effective implementation of the Skilling Uganda at national and grass root levels, through a multilevel focus which is expected to mutually reinforce each other. Also with the aim of making the Skilling Uganda (SU) paradigm shift a reality, it focuses on improving the quality of skills development at a training institution level and making it more responsive to labour market needs; focusing on Western Uganda-Albertine and Rwenzori region (Kabarole, Masindi, Hoima, and Kasese), Karamoja, and in Northern Uganda.
