comments:

ILO needs a more rigorous bottom-up approach to TC

challenges:

TC through any mechanism requires a strong user and beneficiary focus which is contrary to the normal mode of highly centralized institutions. The substantive programming function as a basis for TC needs to be more fully developed in the ILO overall. Some ILO staff are not fully committed to the DWCP as a vehicle for TC. National constituents may not always be aware of the implications of signing a DWCP, viewing it as a new programme or project which will bring in extra funds, rather than a conceptual framework to achieve specific country outcomes in line with the P&B outcomes and ACIs

success:

More analysis is needed of successful DWCPs in order to learn from those experiences

context:

The DWCP Guidebook needs to be revised to emphasize the need for DWCPs to be based on a substantive situation analysis and embody a clear Theory of Change, which is summarized in a coherent Logical Framework/ Results Matrix. A DWCP needs extensive preparation and consultation not only with tripartite consultants but with other national stakeholders and with the UNCT/UNDAF and other development stakeholders. All DWT/O—Port-of-Spain staff need to be involved in development and implementation of DWCP, and an implementation plan developed. The financial and human resources implications for the country concerned and for the ILO need to be clearly established from the outset, as do the reporting mechanisms and responsibilities. A DWCP may not be the only or the most appropriate vehicle for TC in all countries, and complementary multi-country or subregional strategies may need to be developed
