- comments:
- Targeted users / Beneficiaries: In our case, the international cooperation branch of the same government was very active in developing skills in the countries concerned, albeit with different institutional attachments. There was large potential for achieving stronger impacts for the same beneficiaries.
- challenges:
- Representatives of the technical cooperation branches in the countries concerned were unaware of the donor role of their own country's labor branch regarding the ILO. The embassy of the country did not coordinate the different interventions.
- success:
- N/A
- context:
- Cooperation can only meaningfully be achieved if several departments of the same donor government actually operate in the same country during the same time. The whole-of-government approach advocated for in international discussions on aid effectiveness (OECD/ DAC) points to the importance of such cooperation.
- description:
- When labor-related departments of ILO member governments make available funds for TC projects to the ILO, they may ignore TC projects that other departments of the same government are already implementing in recipient countries. It may be mutually beneficial for both departments to cooperate in the field, however, and TC projects can benefit from such a joining of forces. ILO should encourage such cooperation to increase its leverage.
- administrative_issues:
- We could have possibly helped our donor by more directly encouragng such cooperation at the country level. This requires, however, that we actively seek to identify these opportunities for cooperation in discussion with the local embassies and the different branches of the donor government.
