- challenges:
- Result of lack of sufficient institutional buy-in or dedicated resources for country level support resulted in unclear expectations about country level outcomes and the failure to fully leverage project investment.
- success:
- In globally managed projects with expected outcomes at the country level, support for critical actions at every level must be identified.
- context:
- The original project immediate objective was revised during the Mid-Term Evaluation. The revision reflected the recognition that country level adoption and use of the School to Work Transition survey information to develop policy or programme responses to youth employment was beyond the scope of influence of the the HQ managed project. The revised objective was a much more modest expectation that stakeholders would use the information in new or existing policy dialogue on youth employment.
While the HQ managed project was able to support a number of activities that could be logically associated with the SWTS information impacting on the global youth employment dialogue, there were no resources for country level support beyond the realization of the survey and a validation meeting.
- description:
- Globally managed projects that propose objectives or have expected outcomes at the country level must secure the institutional buy-in necessary to access regular ILO resources at the regional/country level to support critical country activities or have those resources included in the global project budget.
Failure to ensure that institutional support or project resources are sufficient to support all activities necessary to meet project goals and objectives results in
- administrative_issues:
- Projected design must consider all proposed outcomes and how they will be supported and fully test assumptions about required institutional (ILO) capacity for the project.
