The “Vocational training in northern Sri Lanka” project aimed to support vocational education after the end of war by setting up and equipping a new vocational school, the Sri Lankan German Training Institute (SLGTI), in the Northern Province. Furthermore, smaller measures were designed to enable up to eight existing vocational schools in the region to train studentsin a way that would allow them to complete advanced training at the SLGTI. The Financial Cooperation (FC) project was part of a joint programme proposal with German Technical Cooperation (TC) and was carried out in close coordination with the parallel TC module.
