- themes:
- theme:
- Tripartism & constituent partnerships
- category:
- Organizational issues
- comments:
- ILO country offices. Stakeholders. The general view expressed, particularly in A2 countries, was that using ILO was a prime reason for the short time it took to implement the response. In A1 countries it was felt that good working relationships with government were able to be developed by ILO and UNICEF because they were already a trusted partner.
- challenges:
- Particularly in A1 countries, there was an extra administrative burden imposed upon the country offices. Initially this was heavy but the strengthening of the headquarters’ role under the program eased this burden, paving the way for effective program implementation.
- success:
- IPs positively responding to the identified problem
Technical capacity of Implementing Partner staff
- context:
- In the interviews with A1 countries, government officials were effusive about their ability to work efficiently and effectively with ILO and/or UNICEF. Given the limited financial and time constraints this was even more the case in A2 countries with indications that had the partner not been ILO, there would have been no point in starting the program.
- description:
- Governments are more open to working with UN Agencies than with private sector companies. This was based on higher levels of trust in working with UN agencies (e.g., sharing data) and a perception that UN agencies provided better value-for-money.
- administrative_issues:
- The administrative burden on participating country offices was initially possibly underestimated since this was the first time ILO had worked under this type of multi-country arrangement.
