- challenges:
- The risk becomes that the tail-end of a project becomes overloaded with activities to achieve or that the quality of earlier activities suffer. In this project, when the Labour Inspectors first began work with the factories, they did not have the finalized Ministerial Decision or the Labour Inspection Checklist to support their work. They were initially perceived as under-qualified, lacking knowledge, and without legal standing to do their work. This has changed over the course of the project but harmed the initial roll-out.

- context:
- This is obviously very context specific and will vary from country-to-country, and probably also between departments within a country’s government. Strong local knowledge of policy change would be needed when developing a project.
- description:
- Changing or establishing policies can be slow moving, and if certain project activities are dependent upon policies being approved, then projects need to be designed to allow enough time for this approval to take place.
- administrative_issues:
- Needs to be considered carefully during project design.
