- comments:
- Main target is the ILO as it puts together teams for implementation. It is a priority in fragile and security sensitive regions.
- challenges:
- Challenge is to find suitably qualified staff, particularly for technical vocations such as engineering.
- success:
- The main positive is that project implementation is supported, and it is also an opportunity to develop and promote national staff and consultants for future employment within the ILO and on other projects in the region (or potentially internationally on other EIIP interventions).
- context:
- BARMM is a politically sensitive area that requires deep understanding of context and culture. External staff would not have the network, partnerships and relationships required to navigate the complex environment.
- description:
- Locally engaged staff who are familiar with the context and have local knowledge and experience are essential when dealing with communities and government. Externally engaged staff would not be as effective. As discussed in good practices section, the use of a locally engaged team has had significant benefits in the context of implementation. The key lesson is that where possible, project implementation teams should have a majority of staff and consultants who are from the regions where they live and work.
- administrative_issues:
- ILO should review its recruitment processes in light of this lesson and seek where possible to utilise and engage national consultants and team members.
