comments:

The target group is all beneficiaires of training events and exercises across all ILO interventions and activities.

challenges:

Chall are a willingness to change from current approaches and to adjust M&E arrangements to take a more targeted and focused effort to assess change and not simply count participants and determine satisfaction levels.

success:

Opportunity to develop and generate some interesting findings and results based on training and capacity events. Also a chance to look at specific interventions and to assess detailed change and influence.

context:

Training is a means to an end. The final result is some form of change, whether is be an individual change or a more comprehensive work unit or broader institutional change. There need to be an appreciation from social partners that training cannot just continue on forever and that linke assessments regading labour laws and institutional reforms, there need to be a defined end period.

description:

Key Lesson 3: While the results highlight the activities and topics covered, it would be beneficial to include metrics or qualitative insights on how the capacity-building initiatives have translated into improved practices or contributions from worker organisations in relevant processes. The ILO intervention tends to focus solely on training and the immediates results of training g(including satisfaction0. This is quite basic and simplistic in number. Given work with social partners has been occurring over a significant period of time, there should be an expectation that there is a greater assessment of how all the training and capacity building even ts have directly contributed to change and what these results look like.

administrative_issues:

Need approaches and methodologies that support capacity assessments and evaluation approaches 9i.e. longitudinal or tracer-type studies) that help capture and present the information.
