Seven major gaps in the national TVET system and the training programs of the NGO-TVET League were identified in the GAP Analysis.

These Plans have been started with very basic information and identification of short-term and long-term. Action Steps, as well as information on governance, curricula and current programs offered. The centers will need to continue a process of staff and stakeholder input and review to further develop each action step and the activities necessary to remediate gaps and continue to develop demand driven programs and relationships with industry.
