- challenges:
- The FAIRWAY management structure included two CTAs based in the region of Africa and in the region of Arab states. The division of labour was rather equal, yet duty station of the CTA in the Arab states was based in the regional office – ROAS, while the duty station of CTA in Africa was based in a country office, in Kenya. ROAS led and contracted all shared services including contracting the communication specialist for developing the Communications Strategy, a gender expert for conducting Gender Analysis and a web developer to maintain a FAIRWAY webpage.
The representation of the CTA in both of the regions was appreciated by the stakeholders but it was learned that equal distribution of power led to the lack of authorized power to reinforce the higher, inter-regional component of the FAIRWAY programme. The MIGRANT department was in charge of the technical assistance and communication with the donor at the HQ level.
- success:
- The two CTAs were communicating on a regular basis supported by the ILO regional migration specialists in terms of thematic knowledge of migration developments in the region.
- context:
- The FAIRWAY Program is a four-year inter-regional development cooperation project funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO) from December 2019 to March 2024. The programme aims to improve conditions of labour migration across migration pathways from Africa to Arab States and better protect all migrant workers in vulnerable situations within the Arab states region, thereby enabling migrant workers to contribute more fully to sustainable development in both countries of origin and destination. The budget of the Programme is USD 10,972,250 including an additional USD 1,500,000 in 2020 to support the COVID-19 response in African countries of origin.
- description:
- Provision of two CTAs in both regions though simplifies delivery of results at the regional level but doesn’t allow for managing results at the inter-regional level
- administrative_issues:
- To the Programme Department of the ILO, programme staff at HQ, regional and country level:
1. Inter-regional programmes should provision clear distinction roles between the CTAs on achieving inter-regional level results;
2. or one CTA should manage the programme as “one” giving attention to inter-regional level activities;
3. Regional level activities could be supported by regional thematic specialists.
