description:

The MLSS has agreed to take over the ILO/USDOL project and through its Voluntary Compliance Programme and the eventual OSH Act, to extend it to additional workplaces. While this appears appropriate and commendable, it would have been good for the project to have prepared the MLSS to assume this role from its start. It remains to be seen if the MLSS has sufficient institutional commitment, resources (both human and financial) and technical capability to manage such a programme. The project could have earlier oriented some of its resources toward building the capacity of the MLSS to play the role now expected of it. Thus a lesson learned from the project is the need in future projects to identify in the project design how project-initiated activities are to be sustained over a longer period of time following the conclusion of the project, and then to direct project resources and effort towards ensuring that the institutional framework, resources and technical capacity are in place to ensure sustainability. The adoption of a sustainability plan towards the end of the project may not give enough time to provide resources and support to ensure a successful transition and continuation.
