comments:

Fully agree and almost fully completed. The proposal for restructuring (which was approved by DFAT 6 December 2018) is being implemented. The note priorities the following: (a) action aimed to reduce expenditures by reconfiguring regional and country programme offices and teams; (b) re-allocation of funds from year 10 to year 5-7 (i.e. front-loading); and (c) cost sharing of MRCs with other ILO projects. See response to recommendation 7 for details on the plans beyond June 2020, the end date of the current GAC grant arrangement.

action_plan:

Action undertaken in response to the recommendation: • The TRIANGLE in ASEAN offices in Malaysia and Viet Nam, including staffing, were phased out as of 1 April 2019 and 1 March 2019 respectively. Further, one of the three regional Administrative Assistant positions were phased out in late 2018. • The funding for the Senior Programme Manager position, which initially was funded 100% under the DFAT budget, is now cost-shared on a 50% basis with the GAC investment for the Oct 2018-June 2019 period. • Discussions with the ILO/UN Women project Safe and Fair on options for cost-sharing of MRCs is completed for four of the six countries. This is further discussed under recommendation 11 below. • DFAT has agreed to the front-loading suggestion which reallocates a total of AUD 900,000 from year 10 to be equally distributed over year 5, 6 and 7.
