ILO and donors

challenges:

The delay in involvement of MoLSA was mitigated eventually as the project was extended by a year. This reduced the initial problems of ownership. However, without the extension, the delays to the project would have had a critical impact on long-term sustainability.

success:

The recognition of the oversight by the project team once they had been recruited ensured MoLSA was brought on board.

context:

MoLSA was not included in the SINCE project steering committee meetings a year after the inception of the project. The Italian Embassy initially engaged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who is its official partner. This is understood to be necessary, but ILO should insist on the involvement of MoLSA as their support of the project is critical to the success of implementation due to MoLSA being the governmental tripartite member.

description:

It is important for ILO to ensure the inclusion of MoLSA as a key partner in the initial design and steering committees of every project no matter who the partner of the donor in the country is. This will ensure the timely implementation of the project, and stronger ownership. It should also support the engagement of the other social partners as well in the design given ILO’s tripartite model.

administrative_issues:

Staff time and potential need of senior management intervention
