action_plan:

The idea of rotating the management of the Global KSP among the founding partners has not been aggressively pursued, largely because any discussion of shouldering responsibility comes with costs and partners are not particularly keen to entertain the notion. Moreover, some have argued that they already have their websites and platforms and do not have the staff or resources to support another information structure. Still all partners are keen to keep the KSP under ILO leadership. Successful efforts have been made to ensure the sustainability of the KSP and Management is confident that the KSP will have enough resources to be kept and reinvigorated. On the matter of products jointly produced by SKILLS with other departments and the Bureaux, such as ACTEMP and ACTRAV, these were planned to be (and actually are) regularly uploaded on the platform and promoted via newly established social media platforms, mainly the KSP’s Twitter account which now boasts some 4,000 followers. Social media platforms allow for “tagging” others, for example, IOE, GAN, etc.., which, in many instances, provides partners with an opportunity to further raise the visibility of new knowledge products via their own Twitter accounts, further increasing awareness of the new items published. Moreover, new knowledge products produced by the ILO on skills will be regularly featured in the monthly Global KSP newsletter, which reaches nearly 1,200 subscribers representing, among others, ILO constituents, the private sector, development organizations, donors, and researchers. The newly established Employment Policy Newsletter, which is distributed to some 1,900 readers, also provides another outlet for sharing internally produced research products.

title:

Taking into account limited funding from regular budget and the mandate of ILO SKILLS Branch to disseminate the specialised knowledge on skills, it is recommended that the founding partners of the Global KSP rotate management responsibilities for the platform. The collaboration between SKILLS Branch and Research Department as well as ACTEMP should be reinforced in order to promote better usage of internally produced research products and strengthen the involvement of private sector. The information about the platform should be also disseminated among other organizations, like International Organisation of Employers (IOE), Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN), UN Global Compact as well as donor community.
