- challenges:
- The negative lesson is that ILO results framework and monitoring systems
are not currently able to adequately measure and demonstrate its results
in “employment for peace”. The challenge is partly due to the lack of
theoretical foundations as well as previous best practices to lean on as
the field and understanding is rather new as well as difficult to define
SMART indicators for.
- success:
- With more systematic monitoring, (as well as communication and
Coordination) of peace and social cohesion indicators, ILO would be an
important agent in helping to build a global evidence base and to
contribute to global best practice on peacebuilding.
- context:
- Despite comprehensive ILO frameworks and guides, including “the
Handbook” produced by this project, that provide guides for how to
measure peace and social cohesion, at a practical level these specific
elements of ILO projects results framework (as well as communication
plans) are missing.
- description:
- For an objective assessment of project’s impact on peacebuilding and
social cohesion, a proper and systemic results framework must exists and
contain baseline, indicators and targets that are specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART). Use a Monitoring workplan
to determine how the project’s specific activities and results are
contributing to the achievement of peace and social cohesion as part of
the overall project’s outcomes and final impact.
- administrative_issues:
- Coordination between ILO HQ and ILO project units cannot be solely
based on frameworks and guides, especially when it comes to
mainstreaming a new complex field like “employment for peace”.
