- themes:
- theme:
- Planning and programme design
- category:
- Organizational issues
- comments:
- ILO staff in country offices, regional office and HQ
- challenges:
- There was some confusion on the project and differences of opinion in regard to the direction and scope of individual activities which resulted in project delays as some materials needed to be redone
- success:
- Communication between offices from the start of an activity is the key to ensuring all involved are on the same page.
- context:
- Due to the February 2021 Coup in Myanmar, the original project design involving institutional strengthening for the Government could not be implemented but the project was not redesigned. Rather than redesign the project team moved forward with selecting and planning activities based on an only partly applicable design
- description:
- When activities must be developed in a design-and-implement manner due to a change in direction after the design period, it’s important to ensure that all ILO offices are on the same page and are sufficiently agile to adapt activities from the beginning of the activity. There is a need to redefine “sustainability” and to have a complete buy-in thereof across all stakeholders of the project from the beginning and on this basis adopt a common approach across project stakeholders. With the new definition of sustainability understood, the new approach would need to be displayed for common understanding that in crisis the thinking on approaches is not orthodox, but needs adjustment. Communication on the new approach is therefore necessary.
- administrative_issues:
- There is a need to ensure sufficient communication about activities up front and develop comprehensive activity plans that all stakeholders involved can agree upon. These documents should mention links between activities and higher-level objectives, monitoring approaches and potential pathways for sustainability.
