The online resource box of the e+i network is aimed at staff from SDC and implementing partners who are responsible for Vocational Skills Development projects in the partner countries. The resource box provides users with practical tools and readily-available good practice examples to design, implement, monitor and evaluate projects in the area of VSD. These practical tools, working papers, guidelines, etc. have been elaborated by staff of SDC funded projects in the field, as well as SDC collaborators in the Coordination Offices or at Headquarters responsible for such projects.
The resource box is structured according to the logic of the Project Cycle Management including project identification, planning, implementation and evaluation. The resource box specifies and supplements SDC's overall Project Cycle Management tools and is linked to ongoing processes of the Quality Assurance Section. For guidance on PCM, a useful manual is the Results-based Management of Projects and Programmes in International Cooperation.
The content of the resource box is continuously evolving as additional good practice examples and documents are shared by projects in the field.
Please send your contributions on VSD to walker@kek.ch.
For Private Sector Development, a similar resource box has been set up.
For Financial Sector Development, refer to SDC's Manual on Managing Cooperation in Financial Sector Development.
