comments:

The immediate beneficiaries are the EIIP teams and ILO ROAS. Improvements resulting from the overall lessons from the cluster approach and the more specific learning will be of benefit to the other stakeholders and the ultimate beneficiaries.

challenges:

The challenges are to do with the extent to which the two EIIP teams and ILO ROAS are able to follow up on the mutual learning. The lessons will need to be adapted and some may not be appropriate.

success:

The positives will be in the specific areas of mutual learning and more broadly on greater collaboration and coherence between the programmes and ILO ROAS and in engaging with the donor.

context:

While there are differences in the country specific contexts both the countries face the common challenge of the influx of Syrian refugees on large scales and the programmes aim to support the countries in meeting these challenges.

description:

The cluster evaluation approach has enabled mutual learning through greater awareness and communication between the two programmes and ROAS. This is a lesson at a broad level but encompasses a number of mutual lessons to be learnt between the programmes: (a) in recruiting workers, adoption of the transparent worker recruitment process; (b) in dealing with participants’ and non-participants grievances and concerns, combining features of the approaches of the EIIPs in the two countries to produce a robust “voice” mechanism; (c) adoption in Jordan of the practice of technically qualified safeguard officers in Lebanon who combine the safeguard and work supervision functions on site; (d) standardising project proposal and results matrix format and content; (e) standardising bi-annual programme and end of project reports modelled on the Lebanon format; (f) standardising workers’ and “do no harm surveys modelled on the Jordan format, and (g) explore feasibility of introducing electronic payment, following the Jordan.

administrative_issues:

The effects should be better use of staff and resources and in design and implementation at the programme and ILO ROAS levels to the extent that the mutual learning is possible.
