| Summary: | Demand-driven training (DDT) and
results-based contracting (RBC) are two mechanisms used to
enhance the effectiveness and impact of skill training
programs. DDT links skills development explicitly with the
job market, typically through employer engagement. Private
sector employers define what type of training is necessary,
either directly or indirectly through training providers.
RBC is based on an agreement with training providers by
which the disbursement of funding is conditional on the
achievement of defined targets, most often verified gainful
employment. Although these two mechanisms are independent,
they are frequently combined. Much has been written about
various approaches to DDT. However, relatively little is
known about the application of RBC in skills training. This
report reviews the literature, identifies project examples
and derives lessons for the design and implementation of
both DDT and RBC. A summary of the existing literature on
international experiences with both DDT and RBC, including
good practices, is presented here. This review aims to
identify the most effective ways to deliver these programs
and provide general lessons on their design and
implementation. The audience for this review includes World
Bank teams and other development and policy practitioners
interested in results-based contracting in the context of
demand driven training. |
