Countries in East Africa, including Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania, have validated, and adopted the Regional Framework for Occupational Competency Assessment and Certification (RFOCAC) and the Regional Policy Framework for TVET Integration (RPFTI) at a workshop held recently in Mombasa, Kenya.
The RFOCAC and RPFTI are two key documents that will help the three countries to establish harmonized and standardized occupational competency assessment and certification systems, through a well-integrated TVET system in the region.
The workshop was attended by high-level officials representing governments of the three countries, members of the Regional TVET Qualifications Framework (RTQF) Implementation Advisory Group, comprising TVET experts, representatives of the private sector from the three countries, and the team from the Inter University Council for East Africa (IUCEA), the Regional Facilitation Unit for the project.
