comments:

The prioritization of activities and outputs was made from discussions with national stakeholders and taking into account the continuity of the previous programme.

action_plan:

The current programme is a continuation of the previous agreement and for its design, a thorough screening of activities needing additional resources to complete, consolidate, and sustain the results that were achieved was conducted. Activities for which inclusion targets could not be met during the past agreement were prioritised to improve the programme’s relevance for beneficiaries.

title:

Consolidate, complete, sustain results. Why it is important: The ILO delivered a wide range of activities within a limited period of time and the context of the pandemic. Several of the activities were of a policy and systems nature, not yet at the stage of being translated into practice / operationalised or have otherwise not fully matured yet. What SKILL-UP has achieved: With the decision to stay active in the same partner countries, Norway and the ILO signal their understanding that skills development reforms require time and also their ambition to bring about significant changes in the skills developments systems. Likewise, the concept note of the next programme phase indicates the plan to ensure continuity. Recommendation: We recommend using the momentum that was created with the SKILL-UP Programme and to screen systematically during the design phase which activities of the programme necessitate additional resources to complete, consolidate, and sustain the results that were achieved hitherto. Activities for which inclusion targets could not be met during the past phase could be prioritised to improve SKILL-UP’s relevance for ultimate beneficiaries. Notwithstanding, diverting attention to other interventions can be necessary if they are more relevant, including for SKILL’s long-term strategy, and likelier to be more effective and efficient.
