action_plan:

Despite full agreement with the evaluator recommendations, the project team had to adjust the technical and financial proposal - including staffing - to the budget available. As mentioned above, the team in Viet Nam was discontinued and the project manager had to be moved to the office in Bangkok. The team in Lao PDR is maintained (NPC + AFA) but without addition of a P3.

title:

4. Maintain as much as possible the current complete Project Team in place for reasons of stability and continuity with the one addition already included in the 2nd Phase Proposal of an International Expert P3 based in Vientiane working on activities both for Lao PDR and for CONNECT for the full period (36 months).. Once the travel restrictions are reduced, the Program Manager could also regularly visit Lao PDR as she did before the pandemic started. This recommendation includes thus also to maintain the position of Program Manager in Hanoi as it has worked overall quite well in the present phase (despite the adverse conditions of the pandemic), as the ILO office in Hanoi is a full-fledged Country Office with full administrative-financial authorizations, and as it is a more family-friendly duty station than Vientiane. With respect to the budget, the current 2nd Phase Project Document proposes 49% for staff costs, and while it is likely that the total amount of the budget will be reduced to the level of the current project, it will be important to maintain that percentage, or even reduce it somewhat, in order to maintain a balance between staff costs and activities.
