challenges:

A- ILO had to request extension of the project twice B- The Do-nou technology in mayo area will remain a pilot project and the chance of duplicating such the technology without ILO advocacy is low C- The EIIP have missed the opportunity to receive consultation, coaching and advises to start-up their own business as the SIYB training was at the last month of the project duration

success:

Do-nou technology found to be effective and generate high number of jobs. Beneficiaries were able to learn and utilize the technology in road rehabilitation

context:

N/A

description:

A. Project design needs to prioritise the need of targeted communities and to be achievable in a timely manner. ILO designed a four pillars project that constituted of 1) rehabilitation of 40 Hand water pumps and 3.2KM of feeder roads through EIIP methodology, capacity building of both community members and government officials, raising awareness of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) principles at construction work sites and finally, enhance Water governance in the Sudanese Government through GIS (Geographic Information System)-powered accessibility maps. Activities outlined under those pillars were diverse and could have not been achieved in a one-year project. For example, the ILO office conducted the SYIB training in the last month of the second extension period of the project, when the evaluation process was going on. B. Do-nou technology was effective mean of generating high number of job opportunities and was a low-cost intervention. However, mainstreaming the Do-nou technology in construction sits in Sudan needs to be supported by ILO. As the preference of the government offices is to use traditional way of road construction and pump rehabilitation though contractors. C. Delay in conducting the SIYB training as the training was conducted at the end of the project instead of organizing such a training immediately after the EIIP field activity, enabling the beneficiaries to start-up their own projects

administrative_issues:

ILO needs to assign monitoring and evaluation officer and create a monitoring and evaluation system during the project implementation that enhance accountability, transparency, better use of resources and improve decision making
