comments:

Implementing partners and end-beneficiaries, including both Turkish Citizens and Syrians under Temporary Protects.

challenges:

Challenges included • The limited interest among national government agencies, in particular the employment agency ISKUR, in participating as implementing partners. • The limited monitoring capacity of some implementing partners, particularly regarding the quality of trainings as part of the ISMEP (the work-based learning component) and the consultations provided by the BILMER component (the information centres which provide information on labour formalisation procedures). • The limited internal M&E capabilities considering the numerous implementing partners.

success:

A benefit of covering 18 provinces with various activities and with local implementing partners was that it positively affected relevance (Good Practice 1). Monitoring was also prioritised, particularly in the later stages of the programme, and the programme team made frequent field trips and monitoring visits to the provinces, and they have well-established communication and partnerships with the IPs.

context:

The context is that the programme operated across 18 provinces, involving various activities and multiple implementing partners but was unable to gather support from some national organisations as implementing partners. The complexity of managing numerous local partners, combined with the limited monitoring capacity (with only one person overseeing all activities), led to challenges in ensuring consistent quality and relevance of training. Many local IPs also lacked the necessary expertise and capacity to meet reporting and monitoring requirements, which further complicated oversight.

description:

It is necessary to assess where implementation can be streamlined through national, rather than local cooperation to ensure sufficient monitoring and quality assurance of programmes. The evaluation found that with implementing programmes and activities across multiple provinces with numerous local partners, monitoring and quality assurance could become challenging, especially where partners lacked sufficient capacity and knowledge.

administrative_issues:

Lack of foresight in addressing the complexities of monitoring and quality assurance when working with numerous local implementing partners following changes in the implementation from national to local partners.
