Matching Skills and Labour Markets in Sri Lanka: Results-Based Lending as Reform Vehicle

26 April 2016

The technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector in Sri Lanka is reforming at sector level because of strong early champions in the Ministry of Finance and Planning (MoFP) and, subsequently, change agents at sector level with strong network and knowledge both about the MoFP and the sector agencies. Initial roadmaps for reform produced by technical assistance were slowly taken over by government and modified to a better fit to the context. Results-Based Lending may under these conditions hold good promises as a vehicle for support to reform – not least if flexibility is maintained to incorporate lessons learned under implementation.
