During the design phase of the current programme, the programme team conducted a mapping of the existing partner and actors in the field concerned. Consequently, a strengthened coordination with other development partners and actors is put in place. The main objective is to support aspects of the programme to enhance the effectiveness of its interventions.

title:

Map the ecosystem, strengthen external coherence. Why it is important: Understanding the eco-system is both important to determining what the ILO can do in a space - based on its strengths - and what others can do. This is also critical to enhancing the effectiveness of the programme as well as to create a basis for the sustainability of the programmes and outcomes. What SKILL-UP has achieved: Most survey respondents and interviewees indicated that the SKILL-UP interventions are well aligned with those that are being implemented by other development and social partners but a few respondents indicated that the programme would have been more relevant if aligned with other interventions. In some cases, respondents involved in other related initiatives were not aware of the SKILL-UP Programme that was being implemented. While key ILO staff is likely to have an overview, this does not seem systematically used for design and implementation; ProDocs / proposals do not contain much information on what other development actors do. Recommendation: The ILO should undertake a practical and focused mapping of the landscape in all its components in order to strengthen coordination with other development partners and actors. This with a view to both actively bringing in – or working with – other development partners to support aspects of the programme so as to enhance the effectiveness of its interventions. In other cases, it may make sense to agree amongst partners ways to ensure that interventions complement each other such that ILO can focus on its strengths in terms of bringing in, and supporting, constituents, building systems and signalling demand whilst others may focus on implementation within this context.
