- context:
- In the case of a complex intervention like the Win-Win Programme that involves multiple factors such as interagency co-operation, outcomes that fall outside implementers’ usual scope of work, a wide variety of external stakeholders, and coordination across multiple countries, it is especially important to clearly and comprehensively articulate expected change pathways, programme logic, strategies, and expectations, as well as risks and assumptions. Many of the challenges faced in the Win-Win Programme and highlighted by the evaluation can be traced to weaknesses on these points.
- description:
- Win-Win offers a lesson on the importance of developing a robust programme logic in a participatory manner ensuring a shared, clear understanding of the link between activities and high-level results, in addition to securing understanding of programme logic by persons brought onboard to implement the programme. A weak or unclear theory of change can lead to missed opportunities as well as activities that are disjointed and ultimately heading towards the stated goals.
- administrative_issues:
- This lesson learned is linked to the design of the intervention. It will required mainly leadership of ILO and UNWOMEN project managers and small financial resources for facilitation process.
