Tender description

Going Global Partnerships Programme<br />The Going Global Partnerships (GGP) programme is for those working in higher education and technical and vocational education and training (TVET). It provides opportunities for governments, national sector bodies, higher education institutions, researchers, academics and students in tertiary education (TE) around the world to collaborate and partner with the UK. Through working together in mutually beneficial partnerships, the programme aims to contribute to stronger, more inclusive and globally connected tertiary systems which support economic and social growth. Alongside this, the programme deepens educational and cultural ties between our countries and builds friendly and trusted relations between people in the UK and their international partners.<br /><br />Background<br />Over the period October 2019 – October 2021, under Sudan’s civilian government, TVET has become a priority, to support the development of focus areas for the transitional government. It’s also one of the burning topics for partners in the private sector who are looking for skilled local employees. Currently Sudan is under Military Government after the coup that took place on the 25 October 2021, this event has caused a lot of political instability and affected the economic development. <br />Political and economic instability has created fiscal deficits, mass poverty, high inflation, high levels of inequality and limited public expenditures on basic services and low fiscal effort that relies on regressive indirect taxes. <br />The instability and frequent changes in policies have resulted in real challenges in providing federal and state level annual budgets. Many low priority public bodies and councils haven’t yet received their budget impacting wider sector development including TVET. <br />
