- challenges:
- Measures for cost-efficient management structures to be particular-ly studied during program planning:
1. Local project manager plus regular coaching through ILO-Headquarters, Regional Offices or Country Offices;
2. Part-time CTA, in charge for several (if possible neighbouring) projects at the same time;
3. Intermittent short-term consultancies based on detailed periodi-cal work plans, to be established together with project staff;
4. Outsourcing of program implementing structures to avoid apply-ing the very costly rules and regulations of the UN head-offices.

- description:
- Transaction costs of 50% and more of an available budget of pro-grams of several years, managed by a PMU, composed by very small numbers of key staff, is no longer up to date from the per-spective of many donors. In view of a more efficient use of rare and expensive management resources, elements of lean management could be evaluated in view of their appropriateness.
