Globalisation of trade, digitalisation, urbanisation and migration have a significant impact on rural life of developing countries. Providing quality education and building effective VET ecosystems is pivotal for equipping vulnerable youth with the right set of skills and entrepreneurship, so that they can create growth and decent jobs. If properly harnessed, besides reducing youth employment, TVET education can greatly contribute to speed the transition towards a clean and circular economy. Humana People to People (HPP) members implement TVET programmes in 14 countries from Africa, Asia and Americas, and runs 16 TVET colleges in Sub Saharan Africa.
