- comments:
- ILO CO Addis Ababa, ILO ROAF/Abidjan, ILO DWT/Cairo, HQ Geneva including MIGRANT, PARDEV and EVAL, EU Delegation.
- challenges:
- The negative lesson is that communication has gradually grown from bad to worse, also in the absence of conducting Project Steering Committee meetings.
- success:
- The positive side is that after the Reorientation of the programme two project staff members will now move to Djibouti and they are anticipated with appreciation by both key stakeholders in Djibouti, the IGAD Secretariat and the EU Delegation.
- context:
- The two components in fact operated more or less independently partly also because the ILO project office was based in Addis Ababa whereas the IGAD Secretariat is based in Djibouti. The Lesson Learned is that the two should have the possibility of more direct communication through having at least part of the project staff relocate to Djibouti and include more activities that are directly supportive of the other component, in other words, make sure that the interaction and mutual support is as optimal as possible.
- description:
- The free Movement of Persons and transhumance in the IGAD Region is part of one programme with two components, in this case an Action Fiche funded by the EU Trust Fund with the project implemented by the ILO as one component and the so-called IGAD-Component, i.e. the development of the Free Movement Protocol by the IGAD Member States, as the other. The ILO Component was not in sync with the IGAD Component partly also as a result of the delays in recruiting key project staff.
- administrative_issues:
- The interaction and coordination between two components of a single programme need to be taken up at the initial stages of contract negotiations (PARDEV) and project design (ILO regional specialists) as well as from the project management side (ILO CO Addis Ababa).
