SERVICES FOR TRAINING OF SAVING GROUPS MEMBERS
UNDER AREDP IN 5 PROVINCES
KABUL-AFGHANISTAN
Under the Project
Non-Formal Approach to Training, Education and Jobs in Afghanistan
(NATEJA)
The Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, Martyrs and Disabled of the
Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan has received
financing from the World Bank to support implementation of the NonFormal Approach to Training, Education and Jobs in Afghanistan
(NATEJA) project, and intends to apply part of the proceeds for
consulting services.
Under the existing World Bank-funded Afghanistan Rural Enterprise
Development Project-(AREDP), village saving groups have been set up
covering the five NATEJA Provinces of Nangrahar, Parwan, Bamyan,
Herat and Balkh. AREDP has acknowledged that while the beneficiaries
participated in the saving groups, a number of the members cannot
efficiently utilize the resources, which have been mobilized to deliver
trainings in order to help improve their livelihoods.
The scope of services will cover Sub-component 3.1 (Encouraging
Rural Employment) described in the Component summaries. This will
include: (i) identifying, with the assistance of AREDP data and with
support from the NSDP, 1500 village members, a share of them savings
group members and share of them non-savings-group members, and
arranging to provide selected occupational and life skills to improve their
livelihoods, (ii) deliver to the selected groups of trainees, in their
localities, a well-focused basket of market-driven, National Occupational
Skill Standard (NOSS) Level-1 vocational training courses, and selected
supporting life skills, needed for wage and self-employment, and (iii),
post training support to enable the trainees to gain employment – and
particularly self-employment for those who are entrepreneurial. Training
interventions are expected to be work place-based or center-based, or a
mixture of both.
