ILO and Microsave

challenges:

Both fellows and partner institutions referred to the initial phase of the fellowship as being less productive because of delays to arrival and then the need to identify accommodation and acclimatize to a different cul-ture. It was suggested that for countries where visas may be difficult to obtain, identifying an immigration consultant to support this would help alleviate the process.

success:

In general, the fellows and partner institution were appreciative of the support given by ILO. This feedback was focused on improving the effi-ciency of the arrival and settling in process, which would allow more time for the fellow to give the institution focused support. There is a considerable body of former fellows who are available to give insights and support to help streamline this part of the fellowships.

context:

The context will change from country to country and particularly with vi-sas may be dependent on the country of citizenship of the fellow.

description:

Supporting the arrival of the Fellows: The fellows and the partner institu-tions in Asia were broadly appreciative of the support given by ILO during the placement of the fellows and the project in general. One identified lesson learned though was that greater support could be but in place to ensure the arrival of the fellow is smoother. This is linked to the adminis-trative part of the arrival in areas such as acquiring a visa, obtaining hous-ing, and generally settling into a new culture.

administrative_issues:

There could be resource implications if additional support is provided through identifying immigration consultants to provide support. Leverag-ing the experience of former fellows would require some staff time to co-ordinate but not financial resources. Engaging the ILO country offices to provide support may also provide an-other avenue for a smoother arrival process.
