comments:

ILO Country Offices, ILO ROAP/DWT and ILO-HQ, and similar regional technical facilities.

challenges:

The setting-up of CONNECT and the period needed for it to become operational and active took much longer than anticipated and took off only from December 2020 as a result of an underestimation in the project design of the time it is needed to materialize such a Regional Technical Facility as CONNECT. Initially, the expectation was that CONNECT could also provide Technical Assistance as required in other (ILO) projects, but it turns out that this should not be automatically expected because CONNECT is an autonomous facility.

success:

Th setting up of CONNECT can be replicated elsewhere in the world by ILO-HQ.

context:

CONNECT is expected to stay, having now five founding member institutions, regular Steering Committee meetings, a Charter and a Work plan, as well as a MoU with an academic institution, Mahidol University. The upgraded position of Connect Manager is expected to remain funded from the project in the second phase, but a sustained business case will need to be developed in the coming 1 – 3 years.

description:

To set up a Regional Technical Facility like CONNECT takes substantial time, but it can be crucial for knowledge development and sharing as well as for long-term technical capacity building.
