- The challenge was to conduct meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic while face-to-face encounters usually provide more opportunities for enhanced networking.
- success:
- Positive changes in the mindsets of the stakeholders involved especially of mid-level government staff in MSDHS, SSO and NESDC.
- context:
- The JP was transparent with its aims and shared information and data with all government and other counterparts throughout the whole period of implementation of the JP. This helped with the consolidation of information from different government agencies and emphasized the importance of sharing information through networking. The JP activities brought officials who worked on different parts of the social protection system together in the same room to holistically examine the social protection system and understand better the links between each part. The process of engaging and exchanging information with stakeholders during data collection, key informant interviews, and consultation workshops led to incremental changes in mindsets especially of mid-level government staff in MSDHS, SSO and NESDC, and potentially drive changes in policies toward a more integrated social protection system and the inclusion of different vulnerable groups. In addition, the involvement of CSOs, social partners and research institutes supported this process further by exchanging views with government organisations and sharing information
- description:
- Extensive networking through workshops, meetings, trainings, advocacy, informal app groups, etc. leads to incremental changes in mindsets of the stakeholders as was found by the evaluation through the interviews conducted with stakeholders. Several staff members, especially mid-level, of MSDHS, SSO and NESDC underlined this, and also most of the involved PUNO’s mentioned this in the interviews conducted.
- administrative_issues:
- Budget resources for networking in new interventions.
