- comments:
- Those affected are all HHs affected by the natural disasters.
- challenges:
- The SALT and ST activities require substantial social orientation prior to delivery, and this was provided although later than schedule.
These activities require smallholders to make significant behaviour and livelihood changes. Training inputs are the start of such change, but typically further support to mentor application of the training, and to accrue benefits is needed for beneficiaries to continue to apply them. Value-chain development interventions would stimulate add value, thus increasing reasons for participants to persist application.
- success:
- In the case of ST, the training program provided by TESDA was structured to include personal and livelihood skills. That they did achieve changes in participantsÂ’ self-worth and confidence is impressive.
- context:
- Complex activities, such as SALT and ST, do have a place within a natural disaster response program. They can have immediate benefits, (through CfW etc.) but primarily aim at transitioning or long term recovery.
- description:
- Delivery of complex activities (i.e. SALT and ST) requires additional project resources that have typically been applied for natural disaster response program:
(a) a longer project timeframe (approx. 18 mth) to allow not simply the delivery of the intervention, but also follow-up to ensure positive outcomes are achieved that will reinforce and anchor the activity; and
(b) staff f dedicated to the facilitation and follow-up these activities require, and in particular to include value-chain development.
- administrative_issues:
- The lean team for ILO did not have a full time staff to manage the complex activities, and this contributed to their delay and follow-up support, but even so sufficient time is need for full activity to be completed and lessons learnt and reinforced with the beneficiaries.
