- Planning and programme design
- category:
- Organizational issues
- comments:
- ILO & project designers (for preparation of further project documents) and migrant workers (as final beneficiaries of well designed project interventions).
- challenges:
- The challenge of implementing projects with multiple components is to link them to each other in order to avoid the patchwork effect which typically hampers the generation of a meaningful impact; e.g. research undertaken without a clear vision and priorities did not link with all ILO initiatives and limited the consultation process and the cooperation between the project and technical departments.
- success:
- The weaknesses in the project design have been recognized by all parties involved and will be taken into consideration for the design of future interventions, in particular for a second phase of MAGNET.
- context:
- Despite a well balanced structure of the project, its design lacks precision in defining linkages between activities and outputs, as well as linkages between the different components. The overall design does not reflect how the project feeds into the mandate of the ILO and supports the work of the technical departments of the ILO. The project budget does not provide a clear breakdown between the different components; priorities in implementation are not identifiable from the project documents.
- description:
- The design and implementation of a project needs to be more comprehensive than just adding different activities and components to each other without clear linkages; this applies to the overall approach, to the definition of responsibilities, to the interaction between different parties involved as well as to the allocation of resources.
- administrative_issues:
- Earlier and on-going projects, of which MAGNET, have provided the necessary background information and experience to design a well-balanced project which addresses issues at a regional level in a coherent way.
