Tripartite partners

challenges:

 Need to pay attention to changing circumstances/priorities of constituents, and to adjust to these, as long as they correspond to the Outcome/Output strategy of the project and can be met within available funds (own and cost-sharing)

success:

Identification of what can possibly work and what cannot and selecting the tested, most feasible solution for implementation; Better understanding of the system the project intends to change and being able to design systemic, sustainable interventions; Flexibility in project design and implementation; Avoiding the typical ‘one-size-fits-all’ mistake.

context:

Moscow-based Senior Specialists, National Coordinators and Project staff in target countries involved in a pro-active and informal way in all interventions at early stage in the planning process, well before the interventions are subsequently coordinated with constituents. The attention is paid to a changing external environment where the Project strives to keep a close and active relationship with the constituents. The Project actively plan/implement and cost-share joint activities with sister projects that enable to draw on resources of each other and achieve synergies.

description:

The important lessons learnt is the importance of the adapting interventions to the local situation in the country and plan them in early stage in the process together with constituents. To some extent, the DW II Project showed that it allows for experimentation and exploration, followed only then by implementation. At this point in time, this is a rather rare strength of a development project. Here, the basic assumption is that if labour management systems are facilitated to change from within, rather than through a number of direct and distorting interventions, better and more sustainable results can be achieved.

administrative_issues:

A set of key skills of the project staff as well as donor acceptance and provision of funds and time on the side of the donors and the ILO headquarters is necessary to apply and support this approach
