description:

 For regional or global projects like CARING Gold Mining, it is important to locate the project office, including the project director and key technical and administrative support staff, in an operating environment where it receives effective administrative and financial support. The CARING Gold Mining project was located in Ghana, which is an ILO project office that relies on the ILO country office in Abuja, Nigeria for supervisory, administrative, and financial support as well as approvals. The lack of strong administrative and financial support infrastructure in the Ghana project office created inefficiencies including lag times for decision-making and other delays. The preferred option would have been to locate the project office in the ILO country office in the Philippines that has a country director and strong program, administrative, and financial support as well as a reliable communication infrastructure. In future regional or global projects that rely on a centralized project office to management the project, the ILO and USDOL should ensure that the project office is place in a location where it receives effective and efficient administrative and financial backstopping.
