challenges:

The evaluator considers permanent presence of the CTA in Tanza-nia as the result of an inappropriate decision. Whether with a tempo-rary suspension of the project operation or with the replacement of the CTA: Anything would have been better than a so-called “remote management” - with accounting of the full personnel costs.

success:

none

context:

The Decent Work Project is based on the so called Market Systems Development Approach, MSD

description:

Although otherwise agreed, the team leader recruited by the ILO was refused a work visa in Rwanda. The reasons for this could not be found out despite intensive and repeated efforts during the evalu-ation in Rwanda. The ILO therefore located the CTA (project team leader) in Dar es Salaam, with a hope that an amicable solution would be found. This however did not resolve the issue since the CTA could never visit Rwanda. As a consequence, this meant that the project team has been working without a team leader for about a year. Since that time the team leader is based in Dar es Salaam in the ILO regional office and could never come to Rwanda.
