challenges:

The use of a Project Performance Plan has become standard approach in ILO projects but has not been implemented by MAGNET. In absence of a Performance Plan which may have been difficult to develop in absence of a clear vision of the network, it would have been appropriate to have at least an accurate Outcome Monitoring Plan which could have been developed during implementation.

success:

The absence of an adequate M&E and reporting system has been recognized by project management and will be taken into consideration for the design of future interventions, in particular for a second phase of MAGNET

context:

The project used the standard ILO reporting template of the Technical Cooperation Project Reports but did not define any Performance Plan to report against pre-defined milestones in implementation. The overall M&E approach of the project is very weak; without a well-designed monitoring system and a Performance Plan, it is very difficult to measure whether or not there has been any change as a result of a technical cooperation intervention.

description:

The absence of an adequate monitoring and reporting system makes it difficult to assess the progress and the impact of a project

administrative_issues:

The ILO Project Performance Plan template is available in ILO “Achieving results, enhancing impact” Technical Cooperation projects” – Guide nr. 5 Performance Plan developed by PARDEV
