challenges:

The consultations carried out to document the project design, planning and implementation would be improved by emphasizing the importance of setting priorities based on robust ex-ante prior evidence. These consultations may include efforts of increasing awareness of the importance of good planning and better monitoring of DWCP and the subsequent projects.

success:

In spite of the lack of monitoring performance indicators, the project technical monitoring included field work on behalf of the project team and the project team constantly supported the development project partners’ capacity to accurately report on the activities they implemented, which increased partners’ ownership on the projects’ outputs and outcomes, as well as their commitment for performance in implementation.

context:

The project design was based on consultations with the constituents to define priority actions. As part of the monitoring process that follows up on the implementation of the DWCP, a tripartite meeting took place in Chisinau in August 2017, at the presence of the Deputy minister of Labour, the EU High-level adviser to the minister of Labour, as well as representatives of the Public Employment Service, the National Confederation of Employers and National Confederation of Trade Unions, and the Youth Council. The purpose of the meeting was to take stock of the DWCP priorities, particularly the progress in the implementation of Outcome 1.2, and to review the ongoing ILO technical assistance on youth employment. As a result of this consultation and dialogue, participants brought to the attention of the ILO the following issues as building blocks of a potential new project: 1/ Implementation of the National Employment Policy in view of supporting the introduction of employment objectives in other sectoral strategies, including the industrial and competitiveness policy. This would allow for completing the work on the draft employment promotion law and introducing elements of sectoral jobs and skills forecasts. 2/ Design and implementation of Territorial/Local Employment Pacts based on the role of the tripartite Territorial Commissions for Consultations and Collective Bargaining. 3/ Implementation of the recommendations from the functional audit of the PES, particularly with regard to the changes in the organizational setup, the extension and improvement of services and outreach of the PES (regional offices, activation packages, M&E functions).

description:

Projects showing effects predominantly on longer term and very little under the control of the implementing agency or beneficiary partner will need special attention in the design phase, especially on the design of performance indicators.
