- AUC, RECs (ECOWAS, EAC, and SADC), regional workers and employers’ organizations, ICMPD, EU delegation and ILO.
- challenges:
- See above.
- success:
- The project’s Project Steering Committee (PSC) discussed in Chapter 1 held ultimately only one meeting, i.e. in February 2019. A second PSC meeting was planned for March/April 2020 but had to be cancelled because of the COVID-19 crisis.
- context:
- The project has a Project Steering Committee (PSC), established to oversee and validate the overall direction of the project and to ensure that activities are in line with the AU strategy on migration and with the RECs’ frameworks and common approaches. The PSC is chaired by the AUC, and is comprised of representatives from RECs (ECOWAS, EAC, and SADC), regional workers and employers’ organizations, ICMPD, EU delegation and other stakeholders. The ILO serves as the secretariat of the PSC.
- description:
- In every new project organize the first Project Steering Committee meeting within the first half year of the effective start of the project.. If this would have been done in the present project, it would not only have been possible to identify much earlier the need for human resources support for the EAC, but would also have allowed for the conducting of two more PSC meetings, i.e. in the second and in the third year (face-to-face or virtual). This is the more important in view of the crucial role the PSC is expected to play in communication and in ownership and would have enhanced the opportunities for RECs and regional employers’ and workers’ organisations of ’learning from each other’ which was considered as an important element in the project..
- administrative_issues:
- ILO as the Secretariat of the PSC should take the lead in this.
