The project supports Vocational Training Institutions in the water and sanitation sector in Zambia. Well-trained professionals in the water sector are important to improve access to clean water, which is a basic prerequisite for health and better living conditions.

The project thus makes an important contribution to SDG 6 - Clean water and sanitation, as well as SDG 4 - Promotion of inclusive, equitable and quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. The project supports trainees during and after their training to facilitate their integration into the labour market. The target group also includes vocational schools, which are empowered to offer higher quality training through updated and practical teaching materials.

Complementing the curricula-based teaching, the project will develop an additional course to teach more practical skills as well as important soft & business skills.
