description:

Project management should be provided advice and assistance on how to exit (phase out) In long lasting and large projects, activity areas tend to grow and become varied, not always interrelated but adding to the complexity of the Project. The observations made by the evaluator during the evaluation of the TICW project, is that indeed there was a tendency for activities to grow a bit out of hand. Progress reporting became quite some undertaking as a result of the complexity, in particular as the reports were required to be submitted in two different formats, one for the ILO-IPEC and one for DFID. Thus, the Project became almost unmanageable at SRO level. Exit strategies and consolidation need to be considered and dealt with in all Projects. In large and complicated projects this becomes even more important and it can be more arduous for a Project management to close down a Project than to start it up - as closing down entails making conclusions about its achievements and merits, successes or failures as well as issues about sustainability and replicability. In the case of TICW, planning for the conclusions in the form of lessons learnt and good practices started quite well ahead of the closure. Furthermore, the Project mapped potential new interested or potentially interested organisations/programme that could take over or replicate some of the TICW components. This included discussions with the AusAid regarding a new Project in the field of anti-trafficking.
