description:

Need for institutionalizing project implementation & ring fencing operational aspects optimizes impact. A frequent change of District Collectors in one of the project districts has resulted in some discontinuity and lack of adequate support for project coordinators. Further, individual incumbents’ tendency to drive the implementation with different agencies (Initially with District Literacy Mission, then with District National Child Labour Project Society, for ex.) resulted in loss of valuable time and need for capacity building to different stakeholders each time. Lack of clear operational guidelines on project implementation indicating the lead agency at the District or Block level, timelines etc. from the State Government compounded the problem. Embedding the project implementation within the governmental systems and ensuring some fund flow from ILO to the government agency (however small) will ensure greater ownership on the part of the government and commitment of human and financial resources to ensure long term sustainability. Clear operational guidelines on implementation issues could mitigate against potential delay, lack of focus, and bureaucratic bottlenecks. Such an institutional mechanism will build the capacities of the concerned government department, builds ownership, and buy in from State partner.
