- comments:
- The main target group is the R4D team and also key stakeholders. There is considerable mutual benefit to having a shared approach to management and oversight of the program.
- challenges:
- The main challenge is having the time available to schedule meetings. The MPWTC has a number of differing development programs and is also facing a situation of decentralisation which places added pressure upon the Ministry. H
- success:
- There is scope and opportunity to reinvigorate high level steering committees and governance mechanisms as part of R4D-SP.
- context:
- It appears from the outset of R4D there was limited intent to establish a high-level steering committee. Evidence has shown steering committees can be quite effective – if planned, prepared and administered appropriately. Following the review there is a strong consensus and awareness of the need for a high level oversight committee – perhaps two – one to look at technical and operational aspects and the other to drive high level engagement.
- description:
- The involvement of key stakeholders to strategically engage and support the program is required R4D has struggled somewhat without the involvement of a high level governance/steering committee to help shape policy, strategic intent and direction and provide operational guidance. Without string program leadership R4D has the risk of being quite obsolete and aligned to personal priorities rather than broader strategic direction for the sector as a whole.
- administrative_issues:
- The ILO needs to encourage and support MPWTC to consider establishing appropriate governance and management oversight structures.
