action_plan:

Some TOT trainings conducted by the Project did not lead to the anticipated number of multiplier trainings. The MTE Recommendation is that the Project seek written partner commitments, including financial commitments, before providing such training, and that such commitments ‘be reflected in an implementation agreement, MOU or contract’ with the relevant partner. The Project always obtains commitments from partners to conduct follow-on training, but on occasion resource constraints, shifting priorities, staff relocations, and other intervening factors prevent these commitments from being met. In some cases where a partner’s commitment or follow-up was inadequate, the Project decided no longer to work with the partner (Philippines TVET authority, Myanmar employer association, Viet Nam education officials). However in no cases has the Project sought to work with a partner whose mission is not aligned with Project objectives, or which does not have the resources to drive sustainability. Of necessity when working with partners such as small trade unions and youth organizations, expectations of follow-up on the partner’s side must be realistic. The Project will continue to insist on clear commitments from relevant partners to multiply any trainings or awareness-building workshops, to the fullest extent practicable (Myanmar TVET curriculum revision includes partner commitments to disseminate OSH training; Philippines OSHC capacity training includes partner commitment to revise course offerings).

title:

Reassess partnerships with implementing agencies, paying particular attention to their willingness and ability to commit requisite resources. SY@W should work with organizations whose core missions are aligned with project objectives and have the willingness and ability to carry out activities at a national or regional scale. Organizations need to have sufficient reach and resources. Plans for undertaking activities should be explicit and backed by financial commitments and/or a clear strategy for securing requisite funding through a combination of government funding, foundation grants, membership dues, and/or fees-for-services. In general, SY@W should commit to conducting TOT only after a comprehensive training plan and associated budget has been have approved by the implementing partner. Based on an assessment of required competencies of the direct beneficiaries, the training plan should describe the training curriculum, present a training schedule, specify the particular individuals/organizations responsible for delivery, and indicate budget commitments. This should be reflected in an implementation agreement, MOU or contract depending on the partner. If the decision is made to continue to work in the agricultural sector, SY@W should add the relevant ministry to the project steering committee and enter into an agreement with appropriate department or agency.
