“…As the case of South Africa in particular shows, trade union support is also not necessarily forthcoming (Cooper, 2014). This means there is a danger (repeatedly identified in the comparative education literature) of an abstract national policy discourse oriented towards global values and approaches becoming decoupled from the actual implementation process, where many actors oppose RPL policy (Nagel and Snyder, 1989;Zapp, 2019). One such example is the case of Bangladesh, where established actors in VET have been able to ensure that only very few individuals can undergo RPL in a way that would actually improve their position in the education system and in the labour market (Maurer and Morshed, 2021).…”

‘Recognition of prior learning’ (RPL) has developed into an important instrument to support the permeability of education and training systems. Based on an extensive review of documents, this article analyses the global diffusion of RPL in vocational education and training systems (VET), with a specific focus on its diffusion through development cooperation between multi- and bilateral donors and lower and middle income countries (LMIC). This article argues that RPL became a core component of development cooperation when VET came to be seen as a means to foster equitable access to employment and income for the poorest. At the same time, it shows that the model of RPL transferred to LMICs is derived from the specific relations between labour markets and education and training systems in donor countries, where VET qualifications are often critical to accessing positions in the labour market, which is often not the case in LMICs.

“…Under SDGs, IDA projects might respond to people’s displacement or the influx of refugees and their consequences (Oliver-Smith, 2018). As such, IDA projects might entail poverty alleviation (Nhapi, 2019), promotion of human rights (Ayoyo, 2019), postdisaster recovery, reconstruction and restoration (Vahanvati and Mulligan, 2017), rural–urban and climate-induced migrations (Ji, 2019), education of global citizenship, integration of immigrants (Noh, 2019), food security (Rudnick et al , 2019), educational development (Zapp, 2019), electricity and energy (Tang, 2019), water management (Haapala and Keskinen, 2018), community self-reliance and institutional governance (McEvoy et al , 2016), child protection and family-based care (Fronek et al , 2019), protection of cultural heritage (Munawar, 2019) or reproductive health development (Dumrak et al , 2017).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to formulate COVID-19 benchmarks that international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) have considered to recover from the sudden stopping of operations swiftly and consequences of COVID-19 pandemic; thus, to move forward toward readiness for both, the unpredictable spreading or disappearing of the virus (case of INGOs operating in Jordan).Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory research has been informed by the broader social constructivism paradigm and the basics of grounded theory method to identify the common themes. Six semistructured interviews have been conducted with INGOs’ leaders. The findings have been categorized, triangulated and prioritized toward the final identification of benchmarks.FindingsSeven COVID-19 benchmarks for INGOs’ effective responses during COVID-19 pandemic have been proposed, comprising of (1) donors’ policies and regulations, (2) needs, expectations and relevancy, (3) coordination, (4) staff management, (5) business continuation plans, (6) balanced short-term and long-term planning and (7) permanent adoption of successful modalities.Social implicationsINGOs play a vital role in the lives of vulnerable people around the world through their international development and aid (IDA) projects. However, the restrictions of movements associated with COVID-19 pandemic drive more burden on these communities and interrupted their access to assistance and support. This paper helps to sustain the crucial support of INGOs to those people who need it.Originality/valueCOVID-19 pandemic has interrupted the implementation of IDA projects, which added further obstacles toward the achievement of quality implementation of these projects. The proposed COVID-19 benchmarks help INGOs to overcome the consequences of pandemic on the near longer-term alike.
