theme:
Programme implementation
category:
Organizational issues

comments:
The donor, ILO, the government, partners as well as other relevant stakeholders, Technical Officers, Monitoring and Evaluation Officers.
challenges:
The Trade unions existing in Somali are not yet fully strategic to deliver the services effectively; because most of them had very weak capacities and track record of working workers.
success:
Besides supporting the implementation, as a member of ILO’s tripartite constituency for Somalia, FESTU continued to champion for decent work for all Somalis and will continue to engage social dialogue with social partners without comprising fundamental workers’ rights as well as the space of trade unions in this important discourse.
context:
Somalia presented logistical complications and restrictions arising from the outbreak of COVID-19. This made it difficult for ILO staff to be physically present to oversee the implementation of the project activities
description:
The importance of local ownership of project during implementation. Project activities that were to be carried out by the ILO were handed over to FESTU. In spite of the activity overload, the implementing partners applied themselves fully and ensured that the project’s objectives were attained.
administrative_issues:
There were structures encompassed in institutional arrangements which ensured policy and strategic guidance guaranteeing successful delivery of the project and FESTU had a direct interest in the project. The project was originally designed to be directly implemented by the ILO with an oversight mechanism comprising of the ILO, FESTU and the Italian Cooperation.
