Results achieved as of November 2021 include: (1) 2,106 trainees (of whom 1,981 are women and 125 are men) increased their knowledge in TVET and learned about reducing barriers for women in TVET through awareness-raising activities. Also, the program reached 17,187 people (of whom 7,963 are women and 9,224 men) through promotional materials; (2) introduced 96 women to existing vocations through participation at three vocational camps; (3) supported seven TVET institutes to make their systems, practices, and policies more gender-responsive and inclusive through participatory gender and inclusion audits; (4) 101 staff (of whom 64 are women and 37 men) at TVET institutions received training on concepts including gender equality/equity, gender roles, and non-traditional vocations. This resulted in 66 women, including eight WWD benefiting from improved access to TVET; and (5) created 100 new training spaces benefitting 66 women (of whom two are WWD) at TVET institutes.
