ATVET Model

Since 2012, the CAADP ATVET project has worked to establish functional agricultural TVET systems in six pilot countries: Kenya, Malawi, Ghana, Benin, Togo and Burkina Faso. These systems are embedded within National Qualification Frameworks (NQFs) and based on the CAADP continental framework principles and guidelines. Based on national labour-market priorities, curricula were developed in partnership with selected agricultural training centres (ATCs). In all six partner countries, training is offered and conducted along income-enhancing agricultural value chains to ensure that skills development is labour market-driven, sustainable and financially rewarding.

As a result, the CAADP ATVET model sets out to transform agriculture in Africa through skills development. Competency-based training is offered at various segments of agricultural value chains. This approach offers a solution for the shortage of well-trained and skilled workers in Africa’s agricultural sector – from production to processing. The ATVET model has the potential to positively contribute to the continent’s agricultural transformation by delivering the skills needed to move from subsistence farming to agriculture as a viable business.
