description:

Bottom-up approach identifying training needs. The project has been characterized by a robust bottom-up approach in identifying the training needs of trade union organizations, which was particularly essential given the varied subregions and the diverse nature of these organizations. Amidst the travel restrictions imposed by COVID-19, the program successfully organized multiple online sessions, facilitating the active engagement of over 50 participants from 17 countries across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific. These sessions were instrumental in mapping out specific training requirements of trade unions, which led to the careful selection of topics for five training modules and the Training of Trainers (ToT) sessions through collaborative discussions with union representatives. The shift to online and blended learning formats was well-received, evident from the 260 registrations across seven modules, involving approximately 200 unique participants. Although establishing a definitive cause-effect relationship between the needs assessment and participant turnout is challenging, the feedback from surveys, interviews, and focus groups suggest that the program was effectively tailored to meet the identified needs. The impact of the practice is quantifiable with the number of registrations and unique participants, highlighting the targeted beneficiaries. Given its successful implementation, there is a high potential for replication of this practice by organizations such as ACTRAC and ICTILO. Moreover, the program's content aligns closely with the Decent Work (DW) agenda and supports the International Labour Organization's (ILO) Strategic Framework, thus contributing to broader organizational goals.
