comments:

The differing financing mechanisms adopted by different agencies, has created some lack of alignment and inconsistent expectations from the Commission. It has also put pressure on the implementing agencies, always putting them in comparison with others, when in favor of the Commission. For example, GIZ directly funds the Commission, the Project finances its interventions as per ILO procurement policies while the World Bank wants to directly finance NSSC.

challenges:

The Technical and Vocational Skills Development Commission and the NSSC.

success:

The positive aspect of the synchronization between GIZ, EBRD and the Project is identified in details as a good practice. This aspect of financial synchronization is missing.

context:

There are a few big agencies such as World Bank, ILO, GIZ and EBRD directly or indirectly aiming at skills development based on their respective ToC. The common ground among all of them, is the establishment of NSSC in the sectors they are supporting. Each implementing agency has its own financing approaches for this specific component (NSSC establishment), for example ILO directly funds its interventions, World Bank wants to directly finance the NSSC without going through the Commission, GIZ finance the NSSC through the Commission.

description:

Financial synchronization between implementing partners such as ILO, WB, EDRB and GIZ is critical for building sustainability and strengthening the NSSC (Jordan). ILO, GIZ and EBRD have had a consistent unified approach and language when presenting the establishment mechanisms to the Commission. A similar approach need to be adopted when it comes to financing methods to ensure alignment and avoid expectations of alternative ways by the receiving end.
