- comments:
- The targeted users and beneficiaries of this lesson are the project teams, ILO departments, UN agencies, national governments, and other cooperation partners involved in similar initiatives.
- challenges:
- A challenge identified was the potential delay in project alignment with national priorities if early engagement with stakeholders was not prioritized. Additionally, without early buy-in, there was a risk of reduced stakeholder support and ownership, which could impede the project's success.
- success:
- The successful outcome was the strong alignment of project activities with national priorities, achieved through early and regular engagement with stakeholders. This approach facilitated stakeholder buy-in and ownership, contributing significantly to the effectiveness and efficiency of the ADWA initiatives.
- context:
- This learning occurred within the framework of the ADWA projects, which aimed to enhance evidence-based policymaking and ILS across target countries. The precondition was the need to align project activities with national development priorities and the importance of securing stakeholder commitment from the outset.
- description:
- One of the key lessons learned from the ADWA projects is the critical importance of early and consistent engagement with national stakeholders. This lesson is linked to the action of conducting regular meetings and consultations with key partners. These engagements were essential for aligning project activities with national priorities, ensuring stakeholder buy-in, and fostering a sense of ownership. By engaging stakeholders early, projects can ensure that activities align with national priorities and garner strong support.
- administrative_issues:
- For future projects, it is crucial to allocate sufficient staff resources and time for the early and continuous engagement of national partners. This includes planning for regular consultations and incorporating feedback from national stakeholders into the project design and implementation phases.
By following this approach, projects can better align with national priorities, ensuring broader support and more sustainable outcomes.
