3.2 The private sector: Training priorities, resources and reorientation
   

Little is known about the extent to which private sector training provision benefits the poor and even less is known about recent trends. In the past, NGOs have focused heavily on providing conventional training for the poor, but this may be changing for two main reasons. First, there is now a greater focus on income generating and advocacy projects that, invariably, have more limited formal training inputs. And secondly, in some countries (e.g. Zimbabwe and South Africa), large cuts in donor support to training NGOs are forcing them to commercialise a significant proportion of their training activities in order to survive. Given the inability of poor clienteles to pay for training services, they are, therefore, being increasingly excluded. Detailed research is needed in order to establish just how widespread this reorientation of NGO training is.

About the Author


International Labour Organization
(Visit International's Website)
As the world's only tripartite multilateral agency, the ILO is dedicated to bringing decent work and livelihoods, job-related security and better living standards to the people of both poor and rich countries. It helps to attain those goals by promoting rights at work, encouraging opportunities for decent employment, enhancing social protection and strengthening dialogue on work-related issues. The ILO is the international meeting place for the world of work. We are the experts on work and employment and particularly on the critical role that these issues play in bringing about economic development and progress. At the heart of our mission is helping countries build the institutions that are the bulwarks of democracy and to help them become accountable to the people. The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic labour rights: freedom of association, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, equality of opportunity and treatment and other standards addressing conditions across the entire spectrum of work-related issues.
