The report is organized into three main parts. The first part presents the conceptual framework used to develop the five broad policy areas and describes their scope.

The second part focuses on the main indicators for each policy area. A range of indicators is proposed covering fundamental indicators for which data is available, fundamental indicators for which data is difficult to obtain in the context of developing countries and other indicators which are desirable in terms of the data they contain but which may not be widely available.

The third part suggests that monitoring and evaluating TVET requires national ownership and capacity development. It pays attention to ways for strengthening national institutions in the field.
