challenges:

There are no specific challenges. In essence, the more through the needs assessment and the more detailed the process, the more the likeliness of risk of failure related to the design of intervention is reduced.

success:

A long-term vision relying on a comprehensive, details-rich process is an important condition to achieve durable solutions.

context:

The pre-conditions are a long-standing presence of ILO in the country and a thorough consultation process ensuring a valid project design. In the case of this project, the initial ILO seed-money project preceding ELAC has helped refine the logic of intervention.

description:

Development projects and most importantly the results of development projects are recurrently threatened by the tyranny of time; the pressing need to see rapid visible results without always assessing the solidity of the foundations, the immerged part of the iceberg. If there is one element of importance to retain from the project, it is the process guiding the change: its legitimacy ((a proper assessment preceding the project design, taken to very deep level during its implementation), credibility (consultation, participation and support of national stakeholders) and appropriateness (to the context, needs and strategic choices made by Ukraine: EU partnership agreement…). The value lesson here is that the more valid and detailed the process is, the higher is the likeliness of producing durable effect. Obviously, the success of effective changes is not the sole result of the process design, as other factors are involved – such as the political stability – however, any weakness in the process design will be strongly felt at any later stage in the continuation of the intervention. The strategic development of the SLS’s labour inspection, the formulation and validation of strategic framework (OSH, labour inspection…) are essential step of the process which must take place before the capacity-building effort is deployed.

administrative_issues:

Requires staff intervention.
