comments:

The current ONEILO Siraye programme including the country programme team and the global units involved in this programe. All ILO programmes and country offices designing ONEILO programmes.

challenges:

Not all global units included in the programme have a project manager/NPC within the national team. Although at the country level individual responsibilities are assigned in a work plan, and there has been significant bilateral coordination with many backstoppers in HQ, a few backstoppers indicated a lack of information or knowledge of current activities in the programme and believed communication on particular interventions could be strengthened. A global coordination system would help improve this.

success:

There is strong bilateral coordination between many of the global departments involved in the programme. A formal global coordination system involving the country programme team and all the relevant global departments would ensure those less involved on a regular basis do not miss out on information.

context:

An initial coordination mechanism was set up at HQ level, but was not maintained as individual priorities and work schedules made it hard to maintain.

description:

For future ONEILO programmes, establishing a formal global coordination mechanism should be established early in the programme and maintained as the programme progresses. This will help ensure broad interaction and information between all the units and components involved in the programme.

administrative_issues:

A global coordination mechanism, which improves awareness of the programme for all units involved and strengthens information sharing and decision making among global units and the country programme team, would require staff time of those involved and a focal point to ensure coordination meetings were arranged and took place. Ideally a focal point in the country programme team and a focal point in one of the global programmes less involved in the programme would take the lead on it.
