description:

Good management and strong commitment do not compensate for poor project design: a) The Phase 2 project was designed as an extension of Phase 1 without taking due account of the changing nature of IR in Viet Nam, particularly concerning the importance of the informal IR system. An opportunity to have a direct impact on the increasing level of wildcat strikes was missed; b) The project was designed as an extension of Phase 1 with the addition of two additional objectives both of which covered important areas but would have been better covered by separate projects. Immediate Objectives 3 and 4 were add-ons that did not relate to the main purpose of the project; c) The project design provided little room to respond to changing circumstances during the implementation phase. Some design flexibility, for example, may have enabled the project to respond to some matters relating to the informal IR system and wildcat strikes; d) The project design largely ignored gender and non-discrimination issues. Such issues are of particular importance for training related to collective bargaining, but were not addressed.
