comments:
Vulnerable populations, including elderly people, individuals with disabilities IWDs, and those who are affected by socio-economic shocks in Gaza and the West Bank, who require longer-term interventions for sustainability. Government partners, particularly the MoSD, that can benefit from more allocated time to build capacity and institutionalize changes.
challenges:
The condensed time frame limited the project’s capability to manage to make necessary adjustments and effectively assess and attend the needs of beneficiaries. The need for substantial capacity-building and coordination across diverse stakeholders necessitated more time than the initial two-year period.
success:
Expanding the project would have allowed for more thorough assessments, better adaptation to challenges, and the implementation of a wider range of capacity-building activities.
context:
The project was implemented in a highly complex and fragile political and contextual context, which required time to tackle systemic issues within the social protection system and build stakeholder trust. A two-year duration was set against the backdrop of ongoing political challenges, armed conflicts, and logistical distractions, which created delays in implementation and adaptation.
description:
A two-year project duration was insufficient to accommodate necessary adaptations and achieve sustainable impact. Extending future projects to three years would allow stakeholders to adapt and implement changes more effectively.
administrative_issues:
ILO staff worked under limited time restraints, which led to delays in some activities. Prolonged project timelines would have provided more time for better planning and more effective capacity-building activities.
