- comments:
- The immediate beneficiaries will be the EIIP teams who will be able to plan and manage the programmes better. There will be benefits for all the stakeholders. The programme beneficiaries (workers and those benefiting from the assets created or improved).
- challenges:
- The main challenges is that the programmes will not fulfil their promise to make a sustainable contribution to mitigating the crisis in the short term and meeting development objectives in the longer term. As a consequence other cash for work approaches just focused transferring cash to those in acute need may be preferred.
- success:
- Success arising from the adoption of this lesson will improve programme performance and will enable the EIIP teams and ILO to develop initiatives to improve and extend the contribution of the employment intensive approach to alleviating the economic and social distress.
- context:
- The context is the difficulties in planning and implementing shorter planned phases combined with delays administrative and political delays leading to unplanned project extensions or in a few cases sub-optimal work. There are no preconditions other than the commitment of the three key stakeholders taking the matter forward and the agreement of the governments in the two countries as key stakeholders.
- description:
- Programme phases should be planned to span two annual preparation and construction cycles with planned overlaps between phases. A recommendation has been made for three of the key stakeholders (the donor, ILO ROAS and the EIIP Teams to follow up on this lesson). The issue was discussed with all key stakeholders who agreed that such a change would be beneficial.
- administrative_issues:
- The lesson if taken on board will improve design, planning and implementation and the programme and use staff and resources more efficiently and effectively.
