- comments:
- ILO technical advisers, donors, program team and Directorate staff (who manage contracts).
- challenges:
- The activities tended to be viewed as ‘work’ activities rather than ‘agricultural activities, with less attention on the production outcomes.
- success:
- At sites where technical expertise existed, or could be requested, excellent results were gained that demonstrate the potential of these activities.
- context:
- Engineers supervising at some sites had generalist agriculture backgrounds, not forestry. No programmed technical support was provided to farmers where cisterns/tanks were constructed.
- description:
- A significant number or reforestation and cistern/tank construction sites demonstrated poor practices. Where technical knowledge was available good results were obtained: reforestation sites managed by engineers who were forestry specialists, and farmers with technical knowledge or support, who shifted new vegetable production and/or intercropping.
- administrative_issues:
- Technical expertise was planned for the project. The delayed start up resulted in a focus on achieving the outputs without seeking the technical advice planned. No technical advice was considered for agriculture as this expected to rely on existing practices without innovation .
