- comments:
- Country ecosystems and their tripartite actors
- challenges:
- The challenges of this timeframe have already been evidenced in the inception period, intended to last six months, but which ran over due to delays such as challenges with recruitment.
- success:
- The country teams have made good progress at the activity level during implementation thus far.
- context:
- Achieving systemic change is a process that takes a long time. PE4DW’s goals for ecosystem change also include changes in policy (the macro-level, Outcome 1) which also can take a long time. Lastly, the projects are operating in challenging country contexts (e.g. where there is macro-economic instability, or governments unsupportive of ODA projects), which adds to the time needed for implementation.
- description:
- Programme timeframe. ILO representatives have already articulated a disconnect between the programme’s short timeframe (4 years including inception phase) and the ambitions of the project to achieve systemic change—which is a long-term goal. The challenges of this timeframe have already been evidenced in the inception period, intended to last six months, but which ran over. In addition, ILO’s procedures (e.g. for recruiting and contracting) mean that some activities can be slow to start, when there is already little time for implementation.
- administrative_issues:
- ILO Programme management, ILO Department Heads, and Donors would need to discuss an extension to the programme timeframe and associated resources required.
