I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING
A. Introduction
1. The Chad Skills Development and Youth Employability Project (P164297) in the amount of US$50 million, a
grant from the International Development Association was approved by the World’s Bank Board of Executive
Directors on June 21, 2019, was signed by the World Bank and the Government of Chad on October 7, 2019 and
was declared effective on April 15, 2020. The project closing date is currently set as October 31, 2024. The Project
Development Objective (PDO) is to improve access to skills training and labor market outcomes for project
beneficiaries and strengthen the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector in Chad. Based on
the Mid-Term Review’s recommendations, the project was restructured in June 2023. The first project
restructuring consisted mainly of revision of scope of the project activities as well as reallocation of funds between
components and categories.
2. After the first restructuring in June 2023, the project has significantly improved its performance and progress
towards achieving its objectives albeit slower than expected. Nevertheless, progress observed during the
November/December 2023 implementation support mission, as well as an agreed action plan would put the
project back on track to fully achieving its PDO. As a result, this second restructuring proposes to further
streamline its scope and optimizing the use of funds to complete the selected activities that are deemed key for
the project’s impact on skills development and employability of youth.
B. Implementation Progress
Progress by components
Component 1: Expanding Access to Skills through Improved Technical and Vocational Education
3. This component finances activities aimed at improving access to and quality of training to meet the needs of
the Chadian economy in sectors with high labor potential. Its progress is unsatisfactory, given the delays in
implementing activities and the high risk of activities that will not be completed by the current project closing
date.
4. Sub-Component 1.1: Improving Access to Quality Skills through the Creation of a new Center for
Professional and Technical Training [Centre de Formation Professionnelle et Technique (CFPT)] and Expanded
Opportunities through pre-existing CFPT. This sub-component finances the construction of a new CFPT in Sahr in
the Moyen-Chari region and the following activities: (i) the development and implementation of new pedagogical
models and curricula; (ii) new administrative management involving the private sector; (iii) strengthening of the
professional and teaching competencies of trainers; (iv) the provision of relevant equipment; (v) the purchasing
of adapted textbooks; (vi) rehabilitation of existing infrastructures and equipment including accessibility measures
for disabled persons; and (vii) information and sensitization campaigns to attract more female students.
5. Progress: This sub-component, especially the creation of a new CFPT in Sarh continues to be a priority activity
for the government. However, completion of all activities by the closing date is at high risk. Nonetheless, after a
delayed start, the implementation speed has drastically improved. All the environmental, design and architectural
studies have been completed. Measures have been taken by the government to accelerate the procurement
The World Bank
Chad Skills Development for Youth Employability Project (P164297)
process. Three construction companies and the control office have been recruited. The environmental and social
management plans have been developed for the construction sites and civil works have started. Regarding the
existing CFPTs, during the first restructuring in June 2023, the number of the targeted CFPTs was reduced to 5 (or
maximum 7 if available funds allow). At present, the design studies are being finalized to take into account the
recommendations of the last implementation support mission in November-December 2023. As for the
equipment, an international consultant is currently being recruited to define the technical specifications of the
equipment for Sarh CFPT and the existing CFPTs. With regard to the curriculum development, a pedagogical
consultant and a technical consultant are currently being recruited to work with the newly established national
technical groups and to adapt the curricula from the West African Economic and Monetary Union platform to the
Chadian context. In terms of human resources, the profiles and qualifications of teaching, administrative and
support staff have been identified by the sizing studies, but the list of trainers who could be assigned to the center
is not yet available. A redeployment of civil servants through a call for applications to identify qualified
government employees (civil servants and contract workers) for possible assignment to the new center has been
launched. Contacts with international training organizations are underway to organize technical training for a
group of trainers and managers in the country and abroad.
6. Sub-Component 1.2: Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Collèges, Lycées Techniques et Industriels (LETIN).
This sub-component supports: (i) the reform and upgrading (modernization) of four LETINs; (ii) the development
and implementation of new pedagogical models and curricula; (iii) new administrative management involving the
private sector; (iv) strengthening of the professional and teaching competencies of trainers; (v) the provision of
relevant equipment including for information, communication and technology; (vi) the purchasing of adapted
textbooks; (vii) rehabilitation of existing infrastructures and equipment, including accessibility measures for
disabled persons; (viii) information and sensitization campaigns to attract more female students; (ix) governance
reform and institutional financing; and (x) study tours for all relevant actors especially at the central level,
directors, and a select number of teachers. The sub-component also plans to finance technical assistance (TA) to
the TVET school to help them navigate through the implementation of institutional changes and improve their
financial management (FM) capacity.
7. Progress: The design studies for the 4 LETINs have been completed. The preliminary project design, the
detailed project design for the civil work-related activities have been completed, and the bidding document has
been drafted. The trainers’ training plan has been developed and will be carried out with those of the CFPTs under
sub-component 1.1. For the development of the curriculum, the Terms of Reference for the recruitment of
consultants who will train and support the national experts are being finalized.
Component 2: Employment Support for Youth and Improved Entrepreneurship Opportunities
8. The objective of this component is to provide first work experiences, and skills relevant to labor market
demands, including entrepreneurship training to youth and provide quality hands-on job training: (i) internships
for skilled graduates in their prospective professions; (ii) apprenticeships; and (iii) entrepreneurship for
agricultural development.
9. Progress: Good progress has been made so far and the probability of achieving the objectives is high.
However, given that the first training cohort was not enrolled until December 2022 for apprenticeships and
February 2023 for internships, it will be difficult to measure the achievement of the project development indicator
relating to the proportion of young graduates who are employed and self-employed after 6 months of completion
within the current project lifetime.
The World Bank
Chad Skills Development for Youth Employability Project (P164297)
10. Sub-Component 2.1: Internships to Improve School-to-Work Transition. This sub-component finances: (i)
employment and internships recruiting camps in technical schools, training centers, and universities jointly hosted
by ONAPE and the private sector; (ii) communication campaigns and partnership building with private companies;
(iii) internship payments that include stipends, accident, and medical insurance coverage; and (iv) technical
assistance (TA) to the national office of employment promotion (Office national de promotion de l’emploi –
ONAPE) to implement the program, and support its decentralized branches outside of the capital city.
11. Progress: The sub-component is progressing satisfactorily. To date, 3,000 young people have been integrated
into the internship program, including 1,333 girls (44 percent). Ten months before the closing date, the program
has reached 76 percent of the final target of 2,000, and the total target of 1,500 for 2023 has been exceeded.
These beneficiaries are working in 482 businesses, exceeding the final target of 150 for 2024 by 150 percent and
are enrolled in 8 main sectors: 43 percent in the health sector, 19 percent in teaching, 13 percent in
administration, 8 percent in trade and services, 8 percent in media organizations, 4 percent in the automotive-
mechanical and industrial sector, 3 percent in energy-construction-building, and 2 percent in agriculture and
related businesses. An external consultant is currently preparing a satisfaction survey based on a sample of
trainees who have completed the course at least four months prior.
12. Sub-component 2.2: Expanding Opportunities for Apprenticeships. This sub-component finances: (i) training
providers; (ii) stipends for the trainees paid via mobile money; (iii) training in functional literacy and numeracy
and life skills by qualified training providers; (iv) a defined package of materials and equipment including all
necessary protections; (v) accident and medical insurance coverage for apprentices; (vi) costs associated with
training of trainers, upgrading of instructors’ skills; (vii) costs associated with selection and placement of
apprentices; (viii) development of new training guidelines and the design, and implementation of the regulatory
and operational framework for the apprenticeship program; and (ix) institutional and organizational audit of the
Vocational Training National Support Fund (Fonds National d'Appui à la Formation Professionnelle, FONAP).
13. Progress: The sub-component is progressing satisfactorily. To date, 2,433 young people from 6 provinces,
including 1,045 girls (43 percent), are undergoing practical training under the supervision of 1,216 master
craftsmen in 291 companies/workshops in 16 sectors. Most of the young people are placed in sectors such as
sewing, electrical and construction, hotel, refrigeration and air-conditioning, hairdressing, and auto mechanics. A
first wave of young people placed in technical trades (auto mechanics, building electricity, refrigeration, and air
conditioning) have benefited from tool and safety kits. Additional theoretical training for 1,426 young people has
begun at 13 competitively selected training centers.
14. Sub-component 2.3: Development of Agricultural Entrepreneurship. This sub-component supports the: (i)
campaign to promote training activities and agriculture as a viable livelihood; (ii) development of the training
modules; (iii) delivery of training sessions via contracted local non-governmental organizations (NGOs); and (iv)
training of trainers. Targeting the intensification of key value chains, namely rainfed cereals (sorghum, millet, corn,
rice) and their associated crops (peanut, cowpea, and sesame), as well as diversification of small-holder farms in
Moyen-Chari and Salamat regions.
15. Progress: Two missions to raise awareness, inform and mobilize development players have been carried out.
A list of a first cohort of 2,000 young farmers has been pre-identified for training. The international consultant
responsible for the trainers’ training has been recruited and the contracts with four NGOs responsible for training
young farmers have been signed. The training will focus on level 1 training modules – “Manage Better your
Business” developed by the International Labor Organization. Twenty-four trainers from 4 NGOs have been
The World Bank
Chad Skills Development for Youth Employability Project (P164297)
trained. Youth training will start in mid-February 2024. This sub-component is significantly behind schedule.
However, as all the preliminary activities have been completed, the risk is moderate.
Component 3: Improving TVET System Governance and Institutional Capacity Building
16. The component’s objective is to strengthen the TVET system which suffers from weak governance and
chronic underfunding. This component finances the: (i) technical assistance to revisit the TVET national strategy
and the national employment policy; (ii) roundtable and national consultations around the revised strategy; (iii)
training of CFPT and TVET institution staff; (iv) capacity building activities of selected training institutions,
government departments, private sector associations, and employment agencies, including capacity building for
ONAPE to manage a website and generate databases to match supply and demand sides; (v) south-south
exchanges through study tours; and (vi) national awareness campaigns that promote TVET and especially girls in
TVET.
17. Progress: Component 3 is progressing moderately satisfactorily. The probability of achieving the
component's objectives is high, but it needs to be better managed by the ministry. The diagnosis of the TVET
sector has already been developed. The high-level roundtable was organized in July 2023, the recommendations
are well documented, and a general report has been sent to the Prime Minister’s office. The budgeted roadmap
for implementing the roundtable's recommendations has been validated. The consultant in charge of developing
the sector policy and vocational training strategy is currently being recruited. The legal framework will be focused
on the following reforms: (i) law on the general orientation of the CFPTs and the note on national vocational
training policy; (ii) organization and operation of CFPTs ; including performance contracts and the institution of
establishment councils with strong private sector involvement; (iii) financing of the CFPTs; (iv) public-private
partnerships; (v) implementation of apprenticeship training; and (vi) national qualification and certification
framework.
Component 4. Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation
18. This component supports the Project Coordination Unit (PCU), monitoring and evaluation activities, and
capacity building activities associated with the project’s implementation. Monitoring and evaluation include: (i)
statistical analysis, employment surveys, and labor studies, etc.; (ii) monitoring of youth and follow-up activities
during internships; (iii) survey of youth after the completion of the internships, apprenticeships, and
entrepreneurships; and (iv) measurement of whether the higher order outcomes of improved labor market
insertion and earnings are achieved through an impact evaluation that contains sample surveys of beneficiaries
before the training, soon after completion and six to nine months after finishing the training. There will be a special
focus on rural areas and girls.
19. Progress: At present, 14,000 young people are registered in ONAPE's database in search of internships. The
firm responsible for updating the ONAPE website has been recruited. As for the project coordination unit staff,
the coordinator has been confirmed, an administrative and financial manager has been recruited, and the
monitoring-evaluation manager is fully functional. The recruitment of an internal auditor, a new procurement
specialist (PS) and a junior PS is underway. The PS for subcomponent 2.2 is overseeing the project procurement
aspects for now, until the new PS is onboard.
C. Rationale for Restructuring
The World Bank
Chad Skills Development for Youth Employability Project (P164297)
20. The proposed restructuring was requested by the government in a letter dated December 19, 2023. The PDO
continues to be highly relevant, and the client is very committed to ensuring the completion of key project
activities. The PDO remains fully aligned with the Country Engagement Note (CEN FY23-FY24)1, the Sahel
Education White Paper2 and the West and Central Africa Education Strategy3. In addition, the PDO strongly
supports the government's strategic priorities and objectives for the education sector in Chad as stated in the
Interim Plan for Education in Chad [PIET-1 (2014-2020)] and PIET-2 [2021-2024]. The project has significantly
improved its performance, the design continues to be relevant and it has a well-performing implementation
agency. However, key activities under component 1 require additional time to complete and allow the Bank to
carry out its due diligence and avoid any potential environmental, social or reputational risks. As a result, this
restructuring would allow the project to fully achieve its objectives by reducing the scop and allowing the
government focus on the remaining critical activities. In addition, this restructuring would free up resources
through a cancellation and contribute to the project’s streamlining and implementation efficiency so that all
activities could be completed by the revised closing date.
II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES
21. The proposed restructuring objective seeks to introduce the following changes: (i) reduction of the scope of
the activities/component costs; (ii) cancellation of funds; (iii) revision of the results frameworks including the end
targets; and (iv) extension of project closing date. The proposed restructuring will not include changes to the PDO.
22. Cancellation of funds. Based on the current performance of the project, it is proposed to cancel US$17.5
million. The proposed amount for cancellation corresponds to the revised scope of activities to allow the
government to focus on critical activities that can be completed during the proposed project period. Amounts are
summarized in tables 1 and 2 below.

Component activities and costs
23. Component 1: Expanding Access to Skills through Improved Technical and Vocational Education [Original
amount US$26.1 million equivalent; Proposed amount US$17.4 million equivalent]: Given the time remaining
until project closure and the implementation capacity of the implementing entity, the proposed changes include
the reduction of the scope of the activities and the cancellation of funds.
Sub-Component 1.1: Improving Access to Quality Skills through the Creation of a new CFPT and
Expanded Opportunities through preexisting CFPTs [Original amount US$17.1 million equivalent; Proposed
amount US$13.1 million equivalent]: For this sub-component: (i) no major change is proposed for the
construction of the Sarh CFPT; (ii) regarding the restructuring of existing CFPTs, the target will be reduced to
3 instead of 5 CFPTs.
Sub-Component 1.2: Rehabilitation and upgrading of Collèges and Lycées Techniques et Industriels
[Original amount US$9.0 million equivalent; Proposed amount – US$4.3 million]: Given the delays in
implementing this sub-component, it was agreed that the number of LETINs to be rehabilitated will be
reduced from 4 to 2. In addition, the scope of the activities in each center will focus on priority programs and
the civil works will be focused on the workshops. The information and sensitization campaigns to attract
more female students will continue to be carried out under Component 3 for all targeted CFPTs and LETINs.
24. Component 2: Employment Support for Youth and Improved Entrepreneurship Opportunities [Original
amount US$13.0 million equivalent; Proposed amount US$8.5 million equivalent]: For Component 2, the
proposed changes do not affect the end targets of the indicators. However, the scope of some activities will be
revised.

27. During the first restructuring, the Impact Evaluations on measurement of whether the higher order outcomes
of improved labor market insertion and earnings are achieved were already proposed to be dropped as the
baseline could not be completed. However, the results framework was not updated. Therefore, the indicator is
proposed to be dropped. The component amount is expected to finance the operation cost and project
management during the proposed nine-month extension.
28. Revised Results Framework. The following changes in Table 3 are proposed.

29. Extension of Closing Date. This restructuring proposes a nine-month extension to complete the activities and
reforms under component 1, which are critical to the achievement of the project’s objectives and represent a high
priority for the government. Based on the positive implementation progress noted after the first project
restructuring and subsequent implementation support mission, the project implementation rating has been
upgraded to moderately satisfactory. The additional time would allow completion of key activities under
component 1 to render five CFPTs fully operational and able to provide services to young Chadians in line with the
project’s objectives while deepening its impact on skills development and employability of youth. The extension
would also allow the Bank to fully carry out its due diligence and ensure orderly closure of all project activities. All
remaining activities under Component 2 and Component 3 are expected to be completed by October 31, 2024.
The revised implementation plan for key activities, which was discussed and agreed to with the implementing
agency, is stated in Table 4 below.
