Dakchyata: TVET Practical Partnership is a skills development project which operates across three industry sectors in Nepal: Agriculture, Tourism and Construction. Dakchyata is a four year project which runs from 2017 to 2021, and is part of the overarching TVET PP programme funded by the European Union, and managed by the British Council in partnership with the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) in Nepal.
The main aim of the project is to strengthen the implementation of more effective policy in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector, responsive to labour market needs. The programme will pilot an integrated Public Private Partnership Approach in three key economic sectors i) agriculture ii) construction, iii) tourism, offering opportunities for promoting the transition to a greener, climate-resilient, low-emission economy.
