comments:
ILO project Regional and Country offices - during project design
challenges:
Enabling projects to recognize and communicate these benefits effectively to key counterpart agencies. Some resistance may occur as it will disturb business as usual, but the broader economic benefits should provide a powerful rational to apply it. Staff personal change and so the lesson can easily be lost. As such it should also be integrated into standard government protocols for communal road construction
success:
Currently the Dpty provincial Governor of Siem Reap is interested in the broader economic impact that EIIP can have. It should be possible to develop a project using existing Provincial funds with ILO technical support to demonstrate these benefits in a substantial manner.
context:
EIIP work is well conducted and can be expected to reliably produce the physical and direct outputs, upon which the above lessons can be also observed.
description:
Focus on the output of EIIP has tended to be on the works completed along with the WD and income gained by workers. There are a range of other social and economic benefits that are not recognized and could strengthen the case for ongoing application of this approach, thus generating further decent work opportunities far beyond the project target.
administrative_issues:
Seeking funds to support such a learning initiative as described above.
