- challenges:
- Conflicts developed between local and the children of seasonal agricultural workers, after the children of seasonal agricultural workers received in-kind support and were invited for summer camp activities and the local children were not. This added to the other negative relationships, which arose from different cultures, languages, hygiene and academic challenges, which were faced by the children of seasonal agricultural workers.
- success:
- A local solution to this was found, and in-kind support was distributed at the place of accommodation rather than in the school. In some cases, the local children were invited to join in summer camps at the recommendation of the teachers. The evaluation finds that giving the children this joined cultural or sportive experience potentially will minimise the risk of conflicts when they return to school.
- context:
- During the implementation of the Project come cases were developed where the in-kind assistance (hygiene kits, clothes and footwear) provided was not exactly what was most needed by end-beneficiaries.
- description:
- Some of the local institutions/organisations that were interviewed during the evaluation particularly emphasised the importance of localisation and collaborating with local organisations. The stakeholders highlighted that local knowledge is crucial for achieving the goals of projects such as the current one. They also see it as important for strengthening local actors. Additionally, having mechanisms to provide feedback from the field is considered critical.
The need for stronger local insight also came to the surface in connection with the VET initiative, undertaken for adult seasonal agriculture workers.
- administrative_issues:
- In any possible, future projects, the local beneficiaries should be consulted to a greater extent, before new initiatives are launched. This will create a higher level of local ownership.
