- success:
- The ILO components of the ERRY JP were highly relevant to community needs in multiple ways, including the beneficiaries and occupations chosen, as well as the financial support provided to help beneficiaries enter the labour market in a meaningful way. Although efficiency and effectiveness can continue to be improved, local interest in the continuation and expansion of ILO’s programming indicates it would be beneficial to scale up this intervention.
- context:
- The greatest strength of ILO project activities within the ERRY JP was its relevance to communities’ interests and needs. The support communities received was perceived to be both effective and sustainable and had a significant impact on their livelihoods and the general economic health of their communities. Beneficiaries believed the occupations chosen for skill development trainings were highly relevant to the needs of their communities and expressed interest in gaining more skills in a larger variety of professions.
- description:
- Build on community interest to scale up interventions. Beneficiaries were particularly vocal about the relevancy of ILO’s programming in target locations, both in regards to the types of professions chosen for training and the efficiency and impact of its implementation. Significant interest came from female beneficiaries as well, who maintained excellent attendance records despite the challenges and stigmas they faced for their involvement. This interest highlights the need for larger scale economic recovery and skills development trainings in Yemen as communities look to rebuild their livelihoods despite the ongoing conflict.
- administrative_issues:
- Based on the positive feedback from communities about ILO’s project implementation, ILO ROAS and the project team in Yemen should consider scaling up economic recovery and skills development programmes to target more beneficiaries. This can be done by ensuring local implementing partners have received adequate training and capacity building to provide ILO programming in communities they have access to and by increasing awareness raising sessions to local government authorities and communities about the sustainability and impact these programmes can have for development in Yemen.
