Judges benefitting from capacity building concerning International Labour Standards

challenges:

• Training needs assessment: Rooms shows for better training targeting to invite judges who work on labour cases. The targeting includes pre-training needs assessments to identify judges’ key needs and priority areas and their scope of work to allow for customizing the training material to respond to the judges’ capacities and needs. • Follow-up: Training refreshment is needed to reflect the changes in the agreements and the nature of cases presented to the court of cassation. Refreshment can be in the form of networking events where all trainees from different courts can meet and exchange knowledge and experience. This post-training follow-up is of significant importance. • New topics can be added to the training, including gender, domestic labour, and disability. Also, good practices from other Arab countries can be added to the training material to enhance the local judge’s knowledge of practices and applications. • Institutionalization of capacity building for judges to ensure the required frequency of training, to respond to the rotation of judges, and long-term follow-up on the learners to understand the training results. Options are training of trainers, e.g., in the National Council for Judiciary Studies in Egypt or through other local partners • Produce training publication to be shared with the parliament members in Egypt to close the gap between the issuance authority and enforcement authority.

success:

The better capacity building is targeted, engagement with its beneficiaries maintained and its delivery handed over to relevant national or local institutions in a partner country, the higher is its relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability.

context:

Training judges in Egypt requires significant project resources with room for improvement of capacity buildings’ relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability.

description:

Capacity building requires training needs assessments, a follow-up to the capacity building event(s) and an approach to institutionalizes capacity building to ensure its relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability.

administrative_issues:

The design of capacity building needs to systematically include training needs assessments, a follow-up to the capacity building event(s) and an approach to institutionalizes capacity building. While this holistic action would increase the costs for capacity building, it is essential to ensure its relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability.
