- themes:
- theme:
- Planning and programme design
- category:
- Organizational issues
- comments:
- ILO and sister UN agencies, government ministries and agencies trade unions and employers associations
- challenges:
- The will power may be limited for the project intervention and not all key stakeholders may embrace it due to bureaucratic red-tape.
- success:
- The extensions to project life were quite important to realizing project outputs and some outcomes.
The flexibility allowed to vary funds to cater for COVID-19 responses was positive
- context:
- Partners and their focus in the area of intervention provide grounds for realization of the project objectives irrespective of the project duration. There is always the will power and resources to support the intervention. For instanced the employees’ unions, workers unions and government are having their long-term interventions well aligned to project objectives.
- description:
- Aligning project objectives to its duration is very important to enhance project outcomes
When formulating a short gap project, the use of medium to long term outcomes requires that follow-up projects are formulated and financed to ensure that these outcomes are followed-up. This project’s partners did well in this instance. It also follows that the communication is clear about this fact, so that a crisis of expectations is not created where the short-term project is judged mainly against the medium to long term outcomes. As noted earlier, the project duration was too short to realise some of the planned outcomes. For example, the diversification of livelihoods requires mind-set change which could not be realized in the few months of the project life. Even issues of social dialogues require iterative processes over a longer period of time to yield desired results.
- administrative_issues:
- Need for more money and extension of staff contracts and the extension of project duration.
