- challenges:
- Each country is unique, there may be different conditions which make the application of lessons learned across countries not feasible
- success:
- Rather than simply react to events that take place it may be possible to anticipate certain trends and challenges and develop approaches to addressing them in a planned manner.
- context:
- The SHFA flagship program is implemented in 23 countries, covering, directly or indirectly 182 million workers. The program may be implemented in other countries going through political instability and conflict.
- description:
- Several preliminary lessons learned emerged in regard to progressing an OSH agenda in a context of conflict and fragile governance. These include (i) the ILO’s position as a normative agency can be a useful for retaining engagement when it is difficult and fraught for development partners to do so, (ii) the potentiality of partnering with education institutions, CSOs, the private sector and social enterprises to advance the OS agenda when partnering with the Government is not realistic (iii) workers and employers may show a tendency toward an enhanced interest in training for professional and personal development during periods of economic downturn and (iv) expectations must be kept low, given difficult conditions in the economy.
- administrative_issues:
- Further research is needed in numerous conflict zones where SHFA is being implemented to further investigate these preliminary lessons, identify other lessons and establish whether these lessons could be more widely applicable and whether there is potential to formalise any programming approaches or modalities for OSH in contexts of civil conflict and fragile governance.
