This report aims to inform policymakers and practitioners in the Arab region and other countries and agencies supporting the development of TVET about what steps might be taken by the government, social partnerships, TVET training institutions, private and public sector workplaces, and to organise, implement, manage, and evaluate effective WBL programmes targeting young people.

The report is mainly informed by country reports from Algeria, Egypt (El-AShmawi,2017), Jordan (Rawashdeh, 2017), Lebanon (Ghneim, 2017), Palestine (Jweiles, 2017), Morocco (Sennou, 2017), Oman (Al-Mujaini, 2017), Tunisia (Chelbi, 2017) and Algeria (Bedou 2018). These have been augmented by the contributions by representatives of six of these countries in the technical workshop held in Rabat, Morocco in October, 2019.
