Ideally, the curriculum will be re-engineered, tried and tested version of a training course already delivered to young people, preferably in Turkana and Garissa Counties, and/or other similar contexts. In developing/adapting the curriculum, the implementing partner will rely both on internal capacity and experience as well as seek inputs from other training providers, workers and employers and the digital economy as well as ILO technical experts..

During training the implementing partner will be tasked with progressive placement and job linkages based on the learned skillset by the target group. The partner will map learning spaces and negotiate partnerships for up to 2,000 students including a plan on where how many students can receive training at what time and for which learning modalities (face-to-face, online, blended). Special consideration will be given to ensure access to suitable learning equipment and connectivity. The implementing partner will identify learners with advanced skills and support in efforts to recognize them by Certification via Recognition or Prior Learning (RPL), which ILO will lead.
    Deliverable 3: Established partnerships with county governments, local NGOs, and community organizations to create and strengthen a network of digital hubs and co-working spaces to support and roll out the training demonstrating a capacity to train at least 2,000 young people.
    Deliverable 4: At least 2,000 youth complete in-demand digital skills training ensuring good representation of the host and refugee, and male and female participants. At least 5 per cent of participants will be young people with disabilities.

    Monitoring and Evaluation: The implementing partner will work closely with the ILO and UNICEF to put in place monitoring mechanisms to assess the progress of the program and recommend changes or adaptations to overcome identified gaps. The partner will be required to evaluate on demand skills within the digital economy and advise any modality for adaptation, if need be, during the delivery. Requirements for reporting and for data collection, including beneficiary databases and post-training follow-up tracer survey to systematically track labour market outcomes following the completion of training activities, will be discussed with and supported by the ILO during the programme inception.
    Deliverable 6: Reports and data on post-intervention outcomes of beneficiaries are available (as defined during the programme set-up with the ILO)
