The TEVET Fund is a financing platform that purchases training services from training providers in the TEVET sector on a competitive basis, to facilitate skills development for both the formal and informal sectors of the economy, at an arm's length transaction. It plays a critical role in the reform of the TEVET system by separating the provision of training from its financing. It also shifts the focus from quantity to quality. As a financier of training being procured from TEVET providers, the TEVET Fund is able to introduce standards and accountability to the system for the desired outcomes. The Fund also introduces performance incentives for training providers and, through its stakeholders, establishes rules for spending on training services that promote national development objectives, including equitable access.
