comments:

The donor, ILO, the government, partners as well as other relevant stakeholders, Technical Officers, Monitoring and Evaluation Officers.

challenges:

The recent elections, insecurity and violence in some of the project locations has been the greatest challenge leading to delays to the project kick-start and implementation. As well, the project components are rather broad to be implemented under the small team of project technical officer and project officer; there was a prolonged period without an M &E officer in the project and a substantive finance officer .

success:

There is strong ownership and support by the key stakeholders as seen by involvement in the PSC and the PTWGs. There is also an elaborate and structured ILO administrative policies and procedures, which allow for transparency in decisions regarding use of resources against agreed project actions.

context:

The project is being implemented in a perplexing setting. Somalia state is delicate, its institutions are frail, and development work is often exposed to challenges relating to violence, and institutional incapacity. There is however a budding presence of enthusiastic private sector

description:

Working with and through the private sector in form of PPPs enhances efficiency of resource use and delivery of results. The project used minimal resources while tapping into the private sector funds, efficiency and innovativeness.

administrative_issues:

ILO has an administrative office in Somali which has increased the efficiency of management. However, in some instance these procedures contributed to the delayed delivery of activities.
