About
Skills for Prosperity
We are a UK aid-funded programme that equips marginalised groups in Africa, Asia and Latin America with skills for the future, so they can find decent jobs, and drive sustainable and inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction.
Note from the editor

Skills for Prosperity (S4P) supports education and skills development across Brazil, Egypt, Kenya, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa and the Philippines. Our mission is to ensure that partner countries have a diverse workforce with skills for the future, which will drive sustainable and inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction. To this end, we focus on increasing the quality, relevance, equity and affordability of higher education (HE), technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and English language teaching (ELT), working at the individual, institutional and policy levels. We place a strong emphasis on supporting access to education and skills development for marginalised groups, especially young women, people with disabilities, ethnic minorities and indigenous groups. The S4P Hub, which is managed by a Palladium-led consortium, oversees the delivery of the programme on behalf of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), working with implementing partners in each country.
