- ILO (EMPLAB, PARDEV, YOUTH), DJY partners.
- challenges:
- The absence of an established and agreed upon governance structure is limiting the potential of the Initiative to increase its visibility, to mobilize resources, and to secure sustainable buy-in from its partners.
- success:
- The current governance structure has given the Initiative a high level of flexibility compared to other partnerships that have a heavier structure such as a board or an advisory committee.
- context:
- The current governance structure of the Initiative is an ad-hoc team composed of UN partners. They are moving the Initiative forward through a system in which each thematic area of the Initiative is coordinated by a focal point. However, this governance structure is understood as being temporary while a governance structure at a higher level is agreed upon.
The evaluators noted that, while the ad hoc governance structure has given the Initiative a high level of flexibility, the absence of a governance structure agreed upon with the Initiative partners is limiting the Initiative capacity to achieve increased visibility at global level, to mobilize resources, and to secure sustainable buy-in from its partners.
- description:
- In the cases of multi-stakeholder partnerships, having an established governance structure is an important precondition to ensure partners’ ownership, facilitate the mobilization of resources, and ensure the sustainability of the partnership.
