- comments:
- This is for ILO Country Directors
- challenges:
- Without periodic engagement, consultations and collaboration with EU-Delegation in the country and government stakeholders from the design and even during M&E, the Project would miss on important insights that could have significantly added value in terms of project implementation, expected results and outcomes. Moreover, while it is good to focus on the project per se, it should be noted that ILO can leverage on GSP3 not just to engage the government but also to strengthen its cooperation. In fact, the engagement should not only be limited to the Labour ministry but also to the trade ministry. The idea is to gain support and full ownership of GSP+3.
- success:
- This lesson will impact the level of support from the government which affects the delivery of outputs and ultimately the expected outcomes of the project. EU- Delegation can provide additional insights that may be integrated in the project.
- context:
- This applies to design and implementation of projects in general. What is particularly unique in this project is the fact that it is linked to trade. It therefore presents immense opportunity for ILO to leverage on GSP3 by also engaging the government both at the federal and provincial levels. This includes engaging relevant government agencies at the national level on the processes and procedures pertaining to compliance of GSP+3.
- description:
- Periodic engagement with EU-Delegation and government stakeholders is a good strategy to leverage on trade vis-a-vis core international labor standards. For instance, better collaboration around expectations would have helped if EU Delegation in the country was consulted (In Pakistan for example, for budget allocation to provinces for example with regards to different issues regarding labour, associations, etc.) Had there been consultations with EU-Trade in the country from design and even during M&E, value-adding insights could have been integrated from the beginning.
- administrative_issues:
- Since this is high-level engagement, this lesson has potential replication for ILO Country Directors in general. This may also require collaboration with the EU-Delegation in the country.
