- theme:
- Tripartism & constituent partnerships
- category:

- comments:
- ILO Country Offices, ILO ROAP/DWT, PROGRAM, PARTNERSHIPS.
- challenges:
- Since these partnerships were forged during the implementation, usually additional time was needed for their completion (hence the no-cost extensions). In some cases, these new partnerships took up so much of the time and budget of the intervention that other planned activities had to be cancelled or shifted to follow-up projects.
- success:
- Since these new partners were generally what can be called ‘higher-level organisations’ their impact on development processes was also (substantially) higher and/or substantially more facilitative.
- context:
- In all four RBSA interventions evaluated in the present report new partnerships were forged which were not included in the original design and which were not part of the regular tripartite constituents, in other words requiring ‘thinking outside the box’. This is clearly facilitated by the flexibility of the RBSA funding modality (this is usually much more challenging to undertake in most DC projects).
The paramount examples identified by this evaluation are as follows:
• Bangladesh: The District Commissioner.
• Sri Lanka: The Ministry of Education.
• Timor Leste: The Prime Minister’s Office.
• Viet Nam: The Central Economic Commission (CEC).
- description:
- ‘Thinking out of the box’ in forging new key partnerships is a Lesson Learned in all four interventions amidst the crisis context using the RBSA funding as leverage.
- administrative_issues:
- Forging such new partnerships tend to take up substantial time from the ILO Country Offices and of the involved staff members.
