Country programmes looking to implemented ONEILO programmes Different units and programmes at HQ

challenges:

Synergies could be enhanced further with better coordination at HQ including ensuring departments which have less day-to-day coordination with the country programme have more up to date information. There is potential for coordination to reduce as programmes move at different pace and have separate priorities

success:

The combined nature of the programme offers various different interventions to the sector at the same time. To date the programme has demonstrated that if there is strong coordination the components can provide strong support to each other. Examples include SCORE trainers supporting Better Work during COVID restrictions, VZF and Better Work conducting assessments jointly, and Better Work Enterprise Advisors following up on SCORE interventions after the SCORE trainers have finished their intensive 3 month training.

context:

The Government and sector were open to the ONEILO approach. The initial push for a combined programme rather than series of smaller projects came from MoLSA. As the garment sector is newly established, there is not a history of one individual global unit operating in the country for a lengthy period, and thus well-established. The relevance of this approach in a country where on unit has been running a programme for a number of years may vary.

description:

When properly planned and with strong coordination, different components can provide strong support to each other and enhance the value add of the programme. The programme has developed a strong M&E system with regular communication and updating of the annual workplan. Components are able through these reviews to identify areas of mutual support, which combined with having one CTA overseeing the entire programme, supports the mutual support and enhanced synergies the programme offers.

administrative_issues:

Requires commitment from the various global programmes and strong coordination at the national level. Ensuring the programme team is recruited without delays should support collaboration between components, particularly as certain elements such as baseline surveys, initial assessments etc need to be carried out early in the cycle of a component. For example, had VZF and Better Work begun operating at different times, it would have been harder for the original assessments to have been completed jointly. Similarly, LABADMIN has been able to use data from the Better Work assessments to feed into the strategic compliance plan for the Labour Inspectors
