comments:

challenges:
Potential difficulties caused when shift to maximising number of direct beneficiaries detracts from ILO work on systemic reform.
success:
-
context:
Shift in programme emphasis brought about by structural change within the donor agency.
description:
The change of administrative arrangements for international development in the UK that occurred early in the programme – i.e., the merger of DFID and FCO to create FCDO – led to a change in policy focus and a specific way of looking at value for money (e.g., numbers in training) that was at odds with the ILO’s mandate as a technical agency that focuses on constituent capacity building and systemic reform. Unless the ILO wants to change its focus and do more to directly support individual beneficiaries, it should think twice in future about implementing projects that prioritise this direct support.
administrative_issues:
Need to assess risk of this issue in the programme design phase.
