description:

Some key high-level MOLE officials appeared to have no more than a lukewarm interest to be engaged in Project activities, particularly those oriented towards public information campaigns, social dialogue, policies and regulations – even though such activities clearly were not only part of the project document but also part of their core responsibilities. An example is that despite the success of training for the Wage Boards, the mainland Ministry was somewhat reluctant to engage fully, or receive assistance, from the project in the areas of social dialogue, policies and regulations, or public information campaigns, although it continued to engage on more technical issues e.g. labour inspection. This could also be a reflection of varying degrees of interest and commitment among officials at different levels of the Ministry management. A lesson to be drawn is that before technical cooperation activities are started up, the Project Document should not only be completed but be “owned” by the constituents at all key levels . National ownership and the necessity of acquiring political commitment for a technical cooperation Project such as the ILLC, should not be underestimated and is thus crucial for success. An example is that once the new government was formed and the new Ministry leadership was in place with a strong commitment to the Project - Zanzibar moved quickly to produce results.
