challenges:
When planning the inception phase, it is important to take into account the total cost of the project, including any potential delays and ongoing operational expenses. it should be demonstrated that the project is not only relevant and effective but also cost-effective in the long run
success:
Despite the delays, the inception phase was effective to align the project strategy to different partner’s need and to build trust and ownership among different partners.
context:
After receiving recommendations from the final evaluation of phase 2, the project team decided to introduce an inception phase. This phase aimed to gain a better understanding of partners' needs and align project strategies with the local context. However, the inception phase faced significant delays, which has impacted the project's implementation timeline and overall efficiency. The delay, which lasted for eight months, is particularly noteworthy given the project's three-year duration.
description:
The inception phase is a critical stage in assessing the partner's needs and finalizing the project documents. However, the cost-benefit ratio of this phase should be rational to avoid harming efficiency and the incurring significant delays.
administrative_issues:
Dealing with a lengthy recruitment process and navigating procedural clearances can pose a potential risk to the cost-effectiveness of ILO project. These administrative delays can result in setbacks to project timelines, compromise resource allocation, and ultimately affect the overall efficiency of project implementation
