comments:
SIDA and ILO HQ Geneva.
challenges:
The negative lesson is that in the 2012-13 Phase coordination was divided between two different branches, i.e. CEPOL and YEP (both part of EMPLAB), and the country initiatives were all operating without much integrated guidance.
success:
Coordination between, and monitoring of the different initiatives will become possible, and changes can be made as they become needed.
context:
Multi-country initiatives have proven (for example in the 2012-13 phase of the ILO-SIDA partnership) to go their own ways if coordination is done by different branches without a program manager or coordinator.
description:
In case of a multi-country initiative whereby the total amount of funding has proven to be insufficient to appoint a full-time full-fledged Program Manager, it is imperative that one central ILO Department (in this case EMPLAB) takes control, and appoints a Coordinator-plus with a clearly defined task description, including the responsibility for collecting the lessons learned in all components, for the coordination among countries by initiating cross-country exchanges (including international workshops), and for the technical work (e.g. Training package, training workshops in Turin, etc.).
administrative_issues:
ILO EMPLAB needs to take the lead in this, and continue to appoint a coordinator as was done in the 2016-17 Phase.
