This paper proposes three ways in which
China and the World Bank could collaborate in the area of
skills development in Africa, building on the experience of
both and recent efforts at collaboration. First, under the
PASET initiative, China and the World Bank could undertake
joint analytical work to assess the skills needs for
different sectors in individual countries, continue the
benchmarking of African universities piloted with Shanghai
Jiao Tong University, share the development experience of
China through targeted learning visits, and share
experiences in skills development through regional forums.
Second, China could support the regional initiatives of the
PASET such as the establishment of the Regional Scholarship
Fund for postgraduate studies in applied sciences,
engineering and technology; the proposed regional TVET
centres of excellence; and co-financing of the regional
Africa Centres of Excellence project, currently financed by
the World Bank. This would supplement China’s on-going
investments, which could also benefit from the experience of
well-designed programs with strong monitoring and
evaluation. Third, China could co-finance country-level
projects which are being prepared with World Bank
assistance, focusing on technical/vocational and higher
education. This will enable Chinese Ministries and
institutions to learn from the experience of the World Bank
and contribute to the development of the education and
training system in Sub-Saharan African countries, while also
contributing China’s experience in a concrete fashion. |
