ILO and its partners / stakeholders at national and local levels

challenges:

No sufficient information on the livelihood prospects of TVET beneficiaries. Uncoordinated activities with other UN agencies, particularly those that are strongly involved in work directed towards refugees and asylum seekers, such as IOM and UNHCR, may hamper the successful achievement of Project objectives. These organizations are increasingly present in some of the Project provinces.

success:

A wide range of TVETs have been provided across the provinces, with the aim to increase the skills of the target groups, which are in certain cases closely followed by local stakeholders. In these cases, the labour market participation outcomes are well-known and analyzed, and measures are being developed to improve these.

context:

A wide range of TVETs have been delivered across the Project provinces for the target populations. However, no sufficient information is available currently in terms of consequent job placements, duration of stay in the labour market, and working conditions, which are necessary to attain the Project’s primary objective to improve the livelihoods of the target population. The risk of conducting overlapping and/or repetitive activities and TVETS with other UN Agencies on the ground may entail confusions for stakeholders and beneficiaries and decrease the effectiveness of Project activities. For instance, IOM is offering education and protection services in Konya and Sakarya, and it has established a Migrant Coordination and Harmonization Centre in Adana.

description:

Measures should be taken/reinforced in the upcoming phase to improve the outputs and outcomes of the Project and to increase its sustainability.

administrative_issues:

Effective monitoring and follow-up of the outcomes of the TVET programmes in terms of job placements (in relevant sectors), the duration of stay in the labour market, working conditions, etc. is necessary to contribute to the sustainability of the Project. The fact that employers need particular support and incentives to meet the costs of recruiting those under international protection also appears to require closer collaboration with İŞKUR, which offers on-the-job training programmes with a guarantee to recruit 50% of training participants. Ways to better coordinate Project activities, particularly TVETS, with other UN agencies, particularly those that are strongly involved in work directed towards refugees and asylum seekers, such as IOM and UNHCR, need to be sought.
