A final version of the Timor-Leste / Australian Program for Enhancing the National Development of Education (APRENDE) design document is provided for the information of prospective tenderers.

APRENDE aims to improve the quality and relevance of education and training received by the children and young people of Timor-Leste, and their access to schools and training institutions throughout the country. It aims to ensure these improvements contribute to the country's economic growth through the employability of graduates, and ultimately, to broader social and economic development. The program is planned over an eight-year period (2013–2021), recognising the long-term nature of the government-led reform process it supports.

The design sets out how this contribution will achieve the end-of-program outcomes: a) children and youth will have more equitable access to education and training; b) children and youth will attain improved learning outcomes; and c) graduates from the technical and vocational education and training sector will have improved employability.

The program implementation mechanism includes a role for a specialist education provider from January 2014 to June 2017. The proposed specialist education provider will support the program by managing delivery of technical assistance and capacity development support, resourcing, oversight, administration and monitoring of activities across the program.

AusAID expects to release the Request for Tender soon. This proposed procurement will be listed on AusTender.
