action_plan:

The project team has reviewed the logframes of a number of policy-orientated ILO projects (particularly those focussed on fair migration) to see what lessons could be learnt. However no other projects have developed more effective/innovative indicators towards policy changes than that which was included in the FAIRWAY logframe, indicating that influencing policy change is a challenging trajectory to predict and assess. While the team did not incorporate explicit 'interim indicators' in the FAIRWAY Global logframe (as this would have led to an immensely complex document), it did work with a specialist consultant to develop more feasible output indicators for the project, leaving more long-term results to be incorporated into an ILO-ROAS Theory of Change, which the migration team - under the leadership of the Senior Labour Migration Specialist- will be responsible for monitoring.

title:

Consider designing interim indicators towards policy change needed to gauge project contribution to long-term achievements. The Fairway project and the ILO experience in the labour migration field show that policy change in the region is a long-term process that might not be achieved during the short duration of a Technical Cooperation Project. However, the project’s contribution to such a change could be measured more systematically by identifying interim, feasible steps towards structural policy change. Attention to policy change is also needed to achieve better results on other Outcomes such as institutional capacity building. Therefore, interim indicators might be designed and measured in order to assess the Project’s contribution to the larger goal of fair migration and decent work for migrant workers in the project countries. This process might be embedded in the design of an ILO-ROAS Theory of Change currently under preparation where short- and medium-term indicators are highlighted.
