ILO Liaison Office, donors, CSOs

challenges:

The resources and capacity of EAOs are limited. EAOs tend to be focused on conflict and political matters etc and to some extent business and to a lesser extent on sustainable development of local communities.

success:

ILO staff expressed a view that they would like to see a change in the mentality of the EAOs to become more focused on development issues. This is likely to take some time.

context:

In a previous project in Shan State with communities, the ILO partnered with the EAO to support communities. In the RBSA project in Mon State, the ILO collaborated with local CSOs in addition to the NMSP. The ILO found that working with CSOs improved project outcomes as they were more willing to engage in processes through attending meetings etc. The CSOs have been working on development issues in the region for a long time.

description:

On the basis of comparisons with previous projects where the ILO worked with EAOs and community members only and the RBSA project where the project team collaborated with CSOs to deliver project implementation, it was more effective to include CSOs in the project management mix as they were more enthusiastic and active participants when it came to attending meetings, actioning tasks etc.
