comments:
This learning point is for ILO staff developing and designing technical assistance projects in cooperation with stakeholders.
challenges:
The negative factor with too many outcomes and outputs is the pressure it places on project teams, as well as national partners and the added administrative work in reporting etc. (a Project is not necessarily doing “better” for doing many different things).
success:
This learning point would lead to more manageable projects with fewer outputs – which nonetheless should be tangible and measureable.
context:
The project has been implemented for almost a decade and in the light of the size and long duration, the great number of outcomes (6) and outputs (28) is in retrospect “doable”.
description:
This is related to the results-based matrix/LFA and related PMF: This final evaluation has assessed it to be learning point that ILO technical assistance projects similar to DJEP (addressing different levels in society) should try not have more than three comprehensive outcomes related/tied to the different levels in society that the Project plans to address: national policy level, governance/province/district level as well as local/community level. This would be more manageable and also result in fewer outputs –which nevertheless should be tangible and not phrased as activities.
administrative_issues:
This is a design issues that ILO technical units/departments and the development partners (donors) and national Partners should keep in mind when designing projects
