comments:

The most vulnerable Syrian refugee women and the host community women specifically living in the province of Gaziantep in Turkey.

challenges:

Even though the overall management structure has been successful throughout the project and there is a clear division of labour existing between the partners, the lack of coordination between partners, lack of communication between partners especially during hectic times of the implementation has posed challenges and some managerial weaknesses in the field. This was mainly due to the non-existence of the UN Women’s team in the field in Gaziantep.

success:

The outstanding expertise and experience of the implementing partners- UN Women, ILO and ASAM- fully ensure the achievement of project objectives and results. This strength is coupled with the involvement and contribution of the national and local partners. Furthermore, the management of the project has been successful and demonstrated a smooth cooperation already established during the former project, on which this project is building up.

context:

UN Women, ILO and ASAM have established a concrete partnership for implementing the project in a complementary manner based on their unique expertise, which could offer as a good example for future projects.

description:

Even though strong implementing partner/s (ILO, UN Women and ASAM) having strong expertise in their fields ensure the successful implementation of the project and achievement of its objectives, defining and agreeing on roles and responsibilities between partners/stakeholders in the initial stages of the project is essential for enhancing the efficiency of the outcomes. The expectations and responsibilities of each stakeholder in the project needs to be laid out openly in this discussion, in order to make sure the next steps of the program can be implemented with ease and the learnings of this phase of the program can be used constructively in developing the partnership between organizations involved in the project.

administrative_issues:

Strong institutional and organizational structure of ILO ensures the efficiency and effectiveness of the project results. Furthermore, bi-weekly coordination meetings especially conducted between ILO and ASAM, as two agency who has field teams in Gaziantep so that they informed each other about daily problems of the center, and/or the requests done by beneficiaries, etc.
