- success:
- N/A
- context:
- All projects implemented by ILO
- description:
- More attention needs to be paid to projects at the design and inception phase to ensure that M&E plans are in order. Work plans and monitoring plans are standard parts of project design and operation and should be part of the prerequisite documentation at the inception phase of any project. The baseline, indicators and monitoring plan will determine the “evaluability” of the project for the duration of its activities, therefore taking the time to make sure that the adequate indicators have been established to evaluate project achievement is vital for an accurate tracking of progress. Similarly, investment in staff basic knowledge of M&E is essential to ensure a common understanding of the intervention logic of a project, the importance of project reporting, monitoring and evaluation.
- administrative_issues:
- As all involved actors have different motivations for their participation in the set-up and implementation or simply improvement of employment services, stakeholders should discuss agendas and make them transparent at the outset of the project.
Effective coordination as a project outcome should be evaluated alongside clear outcome indicators and regular feedback loops should be used to generate new learnings and tactics for impact. In addition, as coordination requires an investment of time and resources, its returns should be measured as process or program metrics, using both qualitative or relevant quantitative assessments.
