JOB CREATION ASSESSMENTS  

The three assessments contained in this document provide guidance on the current and future potential for employment-related growth in USAID’s targeted sectors. The first assessment in this document focuses on Job Creation, with a specific focus on USAID target sectors of tourism, ICT, clean technology, medical tourism, pharmaceuticals, transportation, and manufacturing. The purpose of this assessment is to assist USAID in establishing realistic expectations for job creation and job placement in the target sectors. The purpose of the second assessment in this report, the Cost-Per Jobs and In-direct Jobs assessment, is to assess the quality of the cost-per-job methodology presented in the JCP Assessment Report and provide complementary methodology on how to measure cost-per-jobs, and provide a summary of the methodologies that should be applied in order to measure overall employment creation due to new interventions. This assessment also provides complementary methodologies that could help better estimate any job impacts of the desired interventions. The third assessment in this document reviews available data on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in order to ascertain which areas of TVET investments yields the most productive employment outcomes over the short to medium term. This assessment also offers review and analysis of the available data from TVET institutions such as tracking graduates, employment rates, duration of employment, sectors of employment, and patterns of graduation and employment. The assessment also contains statistics on employment of TVET graduates by sector, institution, and gender and estimation of cost per graduate trained and cost per graduate employed.
