comments:

Beneficiaries are the programme staff directly as well as the global components involved in the programme. Potential future users of this lesson learned will be country programmes planning to implement a ONEILO programme

challenges:

There is potential that certain assessments and studies will not be used by the programme particularly where funding is uncertain. However, this is probably a trade off worth making for the programme as it still provides opportunity for stakeholder engagement and gives ILO ready made proposals and evidence to present to donors when the opportunity arises.

success:

There is potential that certain assessments and studies will not be used by the programme particularly where funding is uncertain. However, this is probably a trade off worth making for the programme as it still provides opportunity for stakeholder engagement and gives ILO ready made proposals and evidence to present to donors when the opportunity arises. The benefits of a strong investment in research are demonstrated by the programmes use of various assessments. As an example, the assessment of the drivers of OSH was conducted jointly with Better Work and VZF, allowing Better Work to identify immediate concerns at the factory level and VZF to identify advocacy issues for the national level, while designing training modules which could feedback into the work of the programme at the sectoral and factory level.

context:

The programme has funded a M&E Officer and a significant number of studies. This include a joint baseline of factories which provides data which can be used by ACTRAV, ACTEMP, Better Work, SCORE, Lab Admin, and INWORK in particular but other components as well. The midterm and final evaluations, of benefit to all components, and assessments such as the gender assessment, the COVID-19 assessment, the minimum wage assessment all contribute to more than one component.

description:

The ONEILO approach has supported a significant investment in M&E activities such as assessments and research which would have been difficult under individual projects. This provides research data which can be used across components. (this builds on the previous lesson learned)

administrative_issues:

Budgeting for a M&E Officer is important to provide someone with a M&E and / or research background to oversee this work. Budgeting for consultants to conduct the work needs to be included in programme design. Flexible donors who are happy for funds to be spent on exploratory assessments are required.
