Local and national stakeholders

challenges:

Most of the stakeholders are not familiar with what is going on in relation to the overall Project implementation, components and progress; how their inputs are used to feed back into the Project objectives; what will be the follow-up activities; what are the outcomes of research and measures adopted in other components and/or provinces; who are the actors involved in the overall and/or provincial implementation process; and/or if there are any best practices or lessons learned from the activities implemented so far (from both other Provinces and international cases, i.e. other country contexts). Some of the respondents have also expressed the need to get more feedback from ILO in terms of their activities and periodic reports, in the form of more regular meetings, brain-storming exercises, learning sessions etc. On the other hand, there are apparent problems in the incorporation of the outcomes of research studies and the reports prepared by experts and academics in the implementation process, and sharing of those with main implementing partners and other stakeholders, who express the need to be regularly updated in this respect.

success:

The commitment of national partners and local stakeholders, particularly those in pilot provinces, to the issue; their ownership of Project objectives and their close involvement with the target group.

context:

Most stakeholders do not appear to be informed on the overall Project objectives and implementation, and there is a significant lack of knowledge on the interlinkages between different components, activities and provinces. At the level of provinces, a significant lack of information on the activities of other (national but also local) stakeholders, as well as on the nature of measures and outcomes of studies is noteworthy.

description:

There is a significant need to improve the management structure of the Project to promote more efficient coordination among objectives, activities, stakeholders and provinces.

administrative_issues:

Concentrated efforts are needed (i) to improve the management structure and monitoring mechanism, involving regular/periodic meetings with and amongst Project stakeholders, brain-storming sessions, and platforms for mutual exchange of experience and best practices; (ii) to develop an effective communication strategy, informing stakeholders of the progress so far and future steps, (iii) to more effectively incorporate the findings of national and local research studies and reports in the implementation process. More efforts are thus needed in terms of adopting an integrated approach in Project management, and enabling efficient communication and transfer of information among all relevant stakeholders.
