- challenges:
- Over-ambitious project design involving a multitude of activities and institutional topics and actors makes it difficult to achieve project objectives.
- success:
- The availability of technical support from the ILO regional office and headquarters has enhanced the Project’s capacity to deliver.
- context:
- The ILO’s intervention approach was clear and logical: first amend key labour legislation, then build capacity to implement amended laws. Various research and studies provided solid evidence and information to guide the design of activities. However, the Project’s coverage was too broad, especially given that the size of the project team was extremely modest. For example, outputs and activities under Component 2 Labour Inspection were quite ambitious. While in line with the findings of the labour inspection needs assessment, the requested inspection and technical assistance was perhaps more than the ILO could deliver within the scope of the project. This was particularly the case given that there were five separate labour inspection authorities in Malaysia (the Department of Occupational Safety and Health, the Social Security Organization (SOCSO), the Labour Department, as well as two separate Labour Departments for the States of Sabah and Sarawak respectively). Furthermore, many of the inspection outputs under the Project (e.g. the IT system, SCP) required work across institutional divisions, where collaboration was not particularly strong.
- description:
- The scope and complexity of intervention should be designed while taking fully into account the implementation capacity of the project team and the project duration.
- administrative_issues:
- Project design should be based on available human and financial resources.
