comments:
The ZGJP Annual Reports are not produced with the purpose of accounting for work done/progress made vis-à-vis operational plans, the LFA or the Strategic Framework. For an external evaluation it was not easy to know from the reports what exactly was done, why, when, by whom, and what it took to accomplish the results (self-monitoring or self-analysis).
challenges:
N/A
success:
The Annual reports are attractive and reader – friendly with photographs – and could be replicated in other projects.
context:
Most ILO technical cooperation projects produce quarterly or biannual technical progress reports, as well as annual reports. The UN Joint ZGJP has Annual (narrative) Reports, which serve the purpose of marketing tools attracting the interest of the private sector and industry players rather than the purpose of accounting for progress, achievements and challenges faced.
The Project produces progress in figures in separate sheets - however without narratives attached to the results.
description:
For the purpose of transparency and accountability, future Joint UN Projects should ensure that regular narrative accounts on implementation against operational plans/results based frameworks - are produced, as well as quantitative targets accounts on biannual basis.
administrative_issues:
The administrative point here is that ILO should ensure at the onset in its agreements with its partners that reporting quality of projects are not compromised (i.e. in terms of transparency and accountability and in terms of reporting against its logical/results based framework).
