- challenges:
- Contributions by specialists from different ILO offices around the globe at times seem to be taken for granted. However, these resources are limited, and they are difficult to substitute for at short notice if specialists are blocked by other tasks or move on to new posts. One project incurred significant delays because of unavailabilities that have made a difference for achieving results as early as possible, with some knock-on effects for achieving objectives before project end.

- context:
- Proper coordination between different ILO units may be a precondition for ensuring the joint management of human resources. Awareness of project planners right from the project planning stage should go a long way in solving such problems, by reviewing staff availability beforehand.
- description:
- For all ILO projects, effectiveness of management arrangements can be significantly enhanced by verifying the concrete availability of specialists to directly contribute to projects during the project planning stage, and obtaining commitments for participation prior to the launch of the project. This will ensure that funding for external collaborators is available to take on tasks that cannot be delivered by the specialists.
- administrative_issues:
- Possibly, introduce an obligatory check for human resource availability prior to project approval. Where specialists are assumed to be available for too many projects, self-assessment may be required. It is important for ILO specialists to make sure they do not overstretch (personal responsibility).
