Bangladesh - Skills and Training Enhancement Project : additional financing - framework and guidelines for small ethnic communities plan

The development objective of the Skills and Training Enhancement Project for Bangladesh is to strengthen selected public and private training institutions to improve training quality and employability of trainees, including those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) ensure small ethnic communities (SEC) are aware of and have easy access to the grievance redress mechanisms; and (2) a gender and SEC specialist may be appointed who will build the capacity of the environmental assessment (EA) to collect ethnicity-disaggregated project data and ensure that monitoring and evaluation procedures include indicators for monitoring impact on the project’s beneficiaries.
