challenges:

Project can better engage relevant stakeholders under each pillar by ensuring sharing the key deliverables (e.g., assessment report of the social dialogue and others) with them to get their feedback and input and promote their ownership in the coming project steps. This can be supported by improving the communication channels between the MHRSD and other tripartite constituents as indicated earlier in this report.

success:

The Ministry trust in ILO and requesting of support was an enabling factor that allowed the provision of relevant timed support to meet at design needs and further emerging needs.

context:

• Involving project stakeholders and beneficiaries since the onset of the project improves their contribution to the project and facilitates the collaboration process while reflecting the views of those who should be involved and ensuring comprehensive understanding of the national context and priorities. This helps secure increased ownership and commitment to the implementation and delivery of outputs and activities. • This project also builds on ILO’s past interventions and achievements made under earlier ILO projects in the Kingdom. This is an added value that helps ensure a better response strategy from the side of the ILO, building on experience and work in the country. • The sequencing of activities with policies being developed based on assessments and clear understanding of main issues and challenges, while capacity building is proposed following clear assessment of needs, further increase relevance of activities and outputs, and suggest higher overall impact. • The newly added outputs and relevant activities were designed in close collaboration with the Ministry and as per its request, depending on its expressed needs and priorities, to ensure satisfactory delivery of results in line with the MHRSD’s expectations. Similarly, the proposed second phase is developed in close collaboration with the MHRSD and building on this phase’s achievements.

description:

Involvement of project stakeholders and beneficiaries at multiple stages; along with the fact that this project built upon past ILO interventions and the sequencing of the different activities have all contributed to the effective implementation of the activities
