As part of the UN Joint Programme, UNDP seeks to examine the relationship between the economic/ monetary returns at individual, household and national level of investments in education and technical vocational education and training (TVET).  Therefore, this study will be done in concerted efforts with the Ministry of Education Youth and Sport (MoEYS), Ministry of Labour and Technical Vocational Training (MoLVT), and Ministry of Industry and Handicraft (MoIH). However, other relevant agencies will be engaged throughout the study.
