comments:

New procedures for development of proposals and management of sub-projects would benefit the implementing partners, and other stakeholders.

challenges:

Staff had made great efforts to identify sub-projects and assemble the implementing teams. Once this was accomplished they assumed sub-projects should run themselves, and they focused on new sub-projects. Many did but some ran into difficulties.

success:

n/a

context:

Sub-projects are an effective mechanism to address the wide range of local issues arising from a disaster to be identified by site based team and addressed. They typically are composed of a number of implementing partners providing a range of inputs and support throughout the project. This enhances projects, but adds to the complexity of management

description:

The assembling of multi-partner implementing teams was an achievement and the vetting process of the proposals, (between field team and Manila) generally ensured the final proposal was solid and implementation could proceed.
There were a number of sub-projects where this was not adequate and; (a) coordination between members of the implementing teams (NGOs, LGUs etc.) was not maintained, and (b) where the responsible implementing partner did not have sufficient background to manage effectively (particularly ED sub-projects). Thus ILO field staff should continue to have an active role in mentoring and coordination amongst implementing partners throughout the sub-projects.
This could be achieved through inclusion of validation points within the proposals to bring all implementing partners together to assess progress. This will: (a) ensure that all partners maintain the same perspective on management of the sub-projects, and
(b) Provide structured opportunities for the ILO field team to continue to support and have influence on activities.

administrative_issues:

It should be possible for ILO to develop new protocols and planning formats to enable them to monitor progress at agreed points
