Figure 8.4: NGOs and Donor agencies required support towards TVET sector
Specific to Gaza Strip (Palestine)
Increase supports: The intensity of assistance, support, donations, and aids are not adequate
for Gaza Strip to eradicate poverty. The donor agencies and NGOs, therefore, should increase
their continual effort in aspects of funds and other initiatives towards developing TVET for
eradicating poverty. Extra attention and efforts should be put on creating job opportunities in
order to reduce unemployment rates. In relation to this, a participant came up with an important
statement with much emphasis as mentioned below:
Besides, NGOand other donor agencies should organise free skill trainings for poor students in
countries like Gaza Strip, Palestine.
Specific to Uganda
Both the government and the donor agencies that intend to invest in Uganda shou ld set up
monitoring strategies to ensure that the resources are not embezzled. Also monitoring the
proper distribution of donated equipment within TVETsector so that the right people get access
to these resources.
D NGO and other Donor agencies
 Provide small funds to the poor skilled people to start-up new business;
 Work together with the government in formulating projects, policies and other
initiatives.

I think it is a duty for all the people in the world to support Palestinian in Gaza especially in
TVET sector because it is a very good solution to our problems here in Gaza. And I would like to
thank the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for their effort to support the Palestinians and
we can expect more support. (P2)
