Africa is seeing a renewed interest in technical and vocational skills development (TVSD). Before efficient youth employment policies can be set out and implemented for both urban and rural areas, however, reliable data and analysis must be available. This study will focus on TVSD. It aims to present a survey of the TVSD-related research conducted by various stakeholder groups over the course of the past 20 years, while also identifying the research expectations, needs and demands expressed by those stakeholders and ascertaining which research topics are in most urgent need of attention. This paper is based on three case studies carried out in Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. In addition, for the purposes of comparison and idea sharing, two similar studies were carried out in South Africa and Latin America. [The authors] also draw upon an analytical study of the situation in West Africa concerning research on education and training.
