challenges:

The Project budgeted the human resources for national coordination in the target countries – Nepal and Sri Lanka at 100% from the regular full time involvement. However, due to the implementation issues, the national coordinators only worked at 50% involvement. This led to a poor coordination and affected implementation of project activities as it required more involvement of project coordinators in this countries, especially in the inception phase of the Project.

success:

After the Project procured full time dedicated staff in each of the target countries the implementation of the planned activities went back on track.

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. The regional project “Safety + Health for All in South Asia” was initiated in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka in May 2021 (after six months delay from the initial start date) and is to end in December 2024. The project is administered by the ILO country office in India. The budget of the project is US$3m USD. The project aims to provide support to the tripartite constituents in strengthening health and safety legislations, national OSH policies and programs and encourage them to improve health and safety in the plantation sector and catering to the needs of not just workers in the organized/formal sector but also to reach workers in the lower tiers of the supply chains/workers in informal employment relationships/workers in small holdings. The project is implemented under the ILO Flagship Programme Safety + Health for All.

To the country office directors: National coordination should foresee full time involvement of the dedicated staff as it requires coordination with multiple stakeholders in the countries
