- IAG TVET members
- challenges:
- ‘Housing’ the Skills for Employment Knowledge Sharing Platform at the ILO and creating “links” with other founding partners that would facilitate their content contributions to the website is not sufficient to ensure its sustainability.
- success:
- Drafting of the Terms of Reference which specifies concrete and substantive means for the IAG TVET members in terms of their non-financial support to the platform.
Division of the support into two principle means or measures of action: 1) increased contributions in the form of knowledge products submitted by the designated Administrative Focal Point from each member organization, and; 2) periodic submissions of articles or opinion pieces for publication as well as participation in virtual discussions by representative member of the group.
Clarification of the roles and responsibilities of the designated Administrative Focal Point from each partner agency both in time commitment and timeframe.
- context:
- Levels of commitment and involvement are variable, with having some members who are less motivated and the burden of work falling on a number of more committed individuals in the platform. Knowledge platforms must be empowered to maintain their presence and respond at times of need regardless of funding. Formal agreements with founding partners about the type of support which could be provided is a good way for creation/promotion of a joint ownership and responsibility, which also contributes to regular updates of the knowledge platform content.
- description:
- One of the greatest challenges to the long-term sustainability of the Global KSP and many other knowledge-sharing platforms is availability of core funding for the platform maintenance and retaining the internal capacity, knowledge and motivation necessary for its effective work.
- administrative_issues:
- Limited development projects duration for creation of long-term sustainability of the knowledge sharing platforms.
