comments:

Local governance frameworks, such as the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD), along with social partners and project beneficiaries, were essential to fostering a sense of ownership crucial for ensuring the project's sustainable impact. Civil society organizations and other stakeholders significantly contributed to the project's achievements through cooperative efforts and shared decision-making.

challenges:

In Gaza, certain stakeholders initially faced difficulties in fully engaging due to factors such as security challenges, political constraints, and conflicting priorities. Limited early involvement of some critical stakeholders hindered the development of robust partnerships and diminished project ownership in specific regions.

success:

Active involvement of stakeholders, including the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) and local social partners, fostered a deeper sense of ownership in the project, particularly in shaping rights-based social protection initiatives. Collaborative decision-making approaches, exemplified in the development of the SRSP Protocol, ensured that the project’s goals were closely aligned with the stakeholders' needs and capabilities.

context:

In the OPT, where governance systems are often disjointed, actively involving both local and national stakeholders played a key role in maintaining the project's relevance and ensuring its long-term viability.

Ensuring meaningful participation from government and social partners strengthens project ownership and long-term sustainability.

administrative_issues:

ILO staff were instrumental in promoting stakeholder involvement by organizing workshops and fostering collaborative planning efforts. However, placing greater focus on early engagement and maintaining ongoing dialogue could have further enhanced stakeholders' sense of ownership.
