Jointly produced by the ILO, AUC and AUDA-NEPAD, this guidance note builds on the SIFA Skills Anticipation Project. It provides frameworks, methodologies, and practical steps for AU Member States to establish or improve labour market information systems, anticipate skills needs, and align training with labour market demands. It includes lessons from pilot countries (e.g. Eswatini, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe) and highlights the importance of inter-ministerial and tripartite coordination.
