comments:

ILO Liaison Office, ILO ROAP, ILO-IPEC

challenges:

Lack of clarity in implementation and reporting arrangements.

success:

DOL staff engagement and MOLES’s commitment

context:

The ILO ROAP designed the Project in consultation with the ILO Liaison Office and concerned government agencies. However, the project document may not have gone through proper quality assurance because funding relied on support from regular budget supplementary account.

description:

Any project irrespective of its size or coverage need to go through a proper quality assessment prior to approval. The project could have benefitted from an in-depth review of the project proposal and the review should have ascertained the scope of the project keeping in mind the country context and institutional capacity. It was important for the project document to identify key risks and assumptions as well as risk mitigation measures, which could have shortened implementation delays.

administrative_issues:

Overambitious project design, reporting requirement for RBSA projects not clearly understood, weak quality assurance at entry (design stage)
