challenges:

The project frequently worked with national research institutes as a valuable support to building national institutional capacity. However, the research process tended to take longer when conducted by the national institutions, requiring substantial time for support to data analysis and report finalization.

success:

Not applicable.

context:

Any projects of medium-term duration that intend to build the knowledge base on child labour, or other labour rights issues, with a view to informing national or state government policy development.

description:

Project design needs to be realistic regarding the time required for research results to contribute to policy change. Projects aiming to promote evidence-based policy change on child labour (or other labour rights issues) need ample time for research findings to be completed and discussed with constituents to play a role in policy change. In the project design, with an effective implementation period of four years, it was ambitious to expect the knowledge products to be completed, disseminated, and to contribute to policy change within the project timeframe. Rather, in practice, policy engagement often needed to be conducted in parallel, based on existing evidence, policy analysis and ILO norms and standards.

administrative_issues:

The issue relates to project designs and theory of change, indicators of performance and intervention workplans.
