Skills Development and Entrepeneurship and Employability 

In many project interventions as well as in formal education, skill development has been biased on practical technical skills, overlooking the need for strengthening cross-cutting so-called 21-century skills, essential skills needed by the labour market.

This is based on the MSM skills development framework, illustrated in the figure below.  Click on the figure to read the Working Paper on Skills development: pathway to youth employment
