- comments:
- ILO programme managers.
- challenges:
- Members of the Policy Working Groups in these countries have struggled with the METI project goals, experiencing a lack of information on the project and absence of a single field focal point contact to ensure smooth running of the process. Additionally,
due to the slow dissemination of information, not all unions participated in the forum in Jordan (30.09-02.10.2024).
- success:
- The ILO has representatives in these countries who assist with METI project activities and provide support. However, stakeholders are seeking increased intensity, clarity, and prompt communication from the project.
- context:
- The METI project has a complicated management structure: Financial management is centralized at the ILO HQ in Geneva, while the technical implementation is decentralized, with technical teams located in both Geneva and in ILO CO- Cairo.
- description:
- Staffing a regional project with a policy component such as METI, with multiple countries involved, should include national-level project staff to provide coordination and support to the policy
working groups, ensuring impact at the policy level. National stakeholders in Morocco and Tunisia have expressed dissatisfaction with the management arrangements. METI does not have permanent presence in these countries, resulting in communication with the project being largely ad hoc.
- administrative_issues:
- To build on this lesson learned, it is essential to plan for national- level project staff to support policy makers in the policy discussions
