Development actors, including the ILO and the UN agencies
challenges:
When the ILO established the Flagship programme Safety + Health for All it neither provisioned any funds to provide technical support for the programme conceptualization nor communicated to the Flagship management on its expectations including on the programme results at the impact level. The programme struggled during the first phase yet in the second phase its management decided to invest into the Programme design by procuring a consultancy company.
success:
The programme struggled during the first phase yet in the second phase its management decided to invest into the Programme design by procuring a consultancy company. The latter initiated a participatory exercise with the Flagship management and other staff of the LABADMIN/OSH branch. The theory if change was developed and expected outcomes were formulated. This allowed better structuring of the Flagship programme portfolio and aligning goals of the national, regional and global projects with hierarchical goals of the Flagship programme.
context:
Proposed by the ILO’s Director-General and endorsed by the Governing Body in October 20151, the five ILO Flagship Programmes consolidate and refine key existing development cooperation initiatives targeting decent work deficits and related challenges. The Flagship Programmes recognize the ILO’s development cooperation portfolio as an important means of engagement with constituents. They support the realization of multiple organisational level outcomes (Programme and Budget Outcomes) and combine global leadership in evidence-based policy with effective field implementation. They offer the potential for scaling up, replication in a variety of contexts and mobilization of resources in more efficient, effective and sustainable ways.
description:
Investing in design and strategies pays-off but the process of conceptualization of such global programme as Safety + Health for All may take up to five years.
administrative_issues:
To the ILO Senior Management – To support the positioning of Safety + Health for All in delivering the ILO OSH mandate, expected results from the programme, including targets on impact and outcomes level, and requirements for periodic internal and independent reporting and evaluation.
