The Tripartite Partnership (TPP) Project has embarked on a toolkit development process under the guidance and supervision of a Dutch Consultant, Ms Manon Dohmen since May 2010. The process of working under her guidance the Knowledge and Skills Development Expert, Ms Dohmen to develop the toolkit intensified as the set deadline for its finalisation draws closer.

 One of the key planned outputs of the TPP Project is the production of a toolkit which will guide the implementation of activities in the three pilot projects. Frantic effort is currently made to ensure that the toolkit is available before the end of the year in order to pave the way for the planned extensive testing.

 The accomplishments so far include, material development workshop that was organised in May to agree on the scope and content of the toolkit. The workshop brought together representatives of key sector agencies, members of the Learning Alliance, Staff from the beneficiary MMDAs and TPP Project staff. Also, following the workshop, series of meetings were organised to elaborate on the curriculum for the toolkit; and relevant sector organisations were contacted and a list of available relevant reference materials gathered.

 The material development is almost completed and the draft toolkit almost finalised for the project implementation. The draft toolkit when finalised will be extensively reviewed by sector practitioners and a revised version produced by the end of the year.
