Targeted users / Beneficiaries: Key stakeholders and institutions in the countries covered.

challenges:

Management and coordination the project was hampered by less than optimal level human resources assigned to the project. ILO staff focal points were expected to undertake coordination, technical and media campaign responsibilities in addition to their regular duties, which resulted in work overload in many MAP countries and some delays.

success:

The commendable level of dedication and professionalism of ILO field staff and HQ technical departments plus the support from ILO regional and country offices ensured delivery.

context:

The project was large and complex, covering 9 countries and four regions, and required the delivery of highly technical outputs, the organization of consultations and numerous workshops and training seminars, which involved many stakeholders.

description:

The assumption in the project design of the availability of ILO regular staff (focal points) in the field to carry out MAP duties was overly optimistic, resulting in some delays. The project only provided for the CTA, a project assistant (50%) and two regional coordinators (Latin America, Asia) who were only funded for a part of the project’s lifespan.

administrative_issues:

The design of the project should have foreseen greater support in the field according to the geographical coverage of the project. There was no project coordinator in Africa, for example.
