B-SkillFUL Phase I (November 2015 – January 2020) is jointly funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and European Union (EU) and implemented by Swisscontact. The project aims to reduce poverty and improve the well-being of 40,000 poor and disadvantaged men and women by increasing their access to the labour market and enhancing their incomes, while safeguarding their fundamental rights at work. The project facilitates implementation of training programmes through local Training Service Providers (TSPs) on demand driven skills. It also supports the linkage of skilled graduates with financial institutions. Additionally, B-SkillFUL raises awareness amongst the graduates and informal sector enterprises on issues of Labour Rights and Decent Work (LRDW)

One of the key interventions of B-SkillFUL is to develop the capacity of implementing partners. Hence, the project demands to improve their Financial Management Systems by upgrading their Business Accounting/Financial recording system.
