comments:

ILO is the user of advocacy (together with social partners and Ombudsman)/Beneficiaries are both the targeted institutions (CMU, MPs, Office for Euro-Atlantic integration, MoE)

challenges:

The OSH and SLS legal reforms are confronted with other war-related pressing priorities, and face difficulties to draw attention so that related legislative acts are adopted.

success:

The active advocacy efforts of the project team and the EU directives transposition and further consultative process has led to ensure stakeholder commitment and maintain a minimum level of attention in the war context.

context:

The context is characterised by a highly competing environment as the war has created numerous urgent priorities. Thus, advocacy becomes an even more important endeavour in order to get development reforms high on the political agenda.

description:

The project has been very active on the advocacy level, and could use the formulation of an advocacy strategy to increase its impact.The project advocacy efforts have also substantially existed in the informal sphere: The EU financial support is not just supporting the delivery of technical expertise, it is also funding a team which, collaboratively with the ILO NC, has dedicated a substantial amount of time to advocacy, inside and outside project activities. It did not need the evaluator to ask since stakeholders have been willing to underline the importance of managing relationships. “Its is not about maintaining good relationships. It is about exchanging on substance and continue the discussions after the roundtable is closed.” Indeed, the agenda is moving also in the informal space. A conclusion from this finding leads to consider the added value of formalizing advocacy efforts so it can serve a strategic with expected results
