- context:
- Close collaborations between CAS, government ministries, stakeholders and data users are necessary. Awareness campaign in communities and partnership with community leaders are important for the survey field operations.
- description:
- The LFHLCS project has encountered challenges throughout its implementation. The Evaluation finds that the regular ILO model for managing project was too simplistic and ineffective for a statistical project given that the input of various specialists and statisticians who have expertise in sampling design, survey data collection and statistical analysis. Data collection and processing are labor intensive and require strong coordination between the statistical office and the field data collectors. Safety and security are important and be given special consideration and budgeted sufficiently.
Th Evaluation has suggested a management structure that involves officials from the EU, CAS and ILO and specialist and experts collaborating in the design of the project and a survey manager with a strong data collection and processing team with support of ILO project team to provide backstopping services to the project.
- administrative_issues:
- ILO ROAS has not reached out to HQ and other country at the different stages of this project. Support from HQ, experience and lessons learnt from projects in the development and implementation of large-scale surveys at national statistical offices would have been beneficial for the LFHLCS.
The remuneration of survey interviewers was a burdensome process that required approval at several levels. This has caused delays and frustrations. Other pay scheme with simpler approval mechanism should be investigated and employed in the future.
