ILO, tripartite constituents and other development partners

challenges:

The sectoral committees stopped functioning in the second year of the project due to the transfer of officials and the lack of interest shown by new officials. In the case of one of the states, the relevant department expressed its inability to hold the meetings of this committee due to limited capacities. This highlights the need for continued prioritisation of the mechanisms established.

success:

The ownership of the project by state government at the senior levels led to issuance of notifications to formal the district level sector committees.

context:

This is relevant to initiatives that involve partnership of government institutions and the setting up of structures to strengthen inter-departmental coordination.

description:

Mechanisms for inter-departmental coordination and coherence in the government require continued prioritisation by key government officials.The project set up district level sectoral steering committees in the two project states in the first year of the project through government notifications. These committees helped to enhance inter-departmental coordination and coherence and served as a platform to discuss the evidence and strategies for MSME development.

administrative_issues:

Future ILO projects need to consider the risks in the formation and functioning of governmental sectoral committees and accordingly plan for mitigating actions.
