action_plan:

(1) The development of a capacity building programme with the support of the Business Innovation Unit has started. A skills mapping in collaboration with HRD and BIU is under consideration. For 2022, knowledge sharing sessions on the thematic areas of the FP are foreseen. In addition, the management team meetings serve to ensure joint work and build capacities around programme management including resource mobilization and how to manage the growth of the GTT. These sessions are open to the whole GTT if relevant. The meetings will be complemented by the use of dedicated Teams channels where all GTT members will be able to access and share information. An onboarding package for new staff has been developed. Regular knowledge sharing sessions (KISS Cafés) will be continued based on the 2021 successful pilot experience. (2) The technical support facility has been put in place during phase 1 of the FP. Its operations will be further streamlined and clear guidance developed. (3) Efforts will be deployed to ensure that the courses offered by the ITC Turin, including the Social Security Academy, are communicated to all SP GTT and that ILO staff development resources are allocated for authorized staff wishing to attend the courses.

title:

The ILO needs to build capacities across the Global Technical Team on social protection and specialized areas of work (e.g. health, financing, informal economy). Capacity development should also cover project management, partnership development, and resource mobilization. Furthermore, the Programme should provide support to the GTT on using the results monitoring tool for evidence-based communication and knowledge sharing, among others, and on further mainstreaming the Programme in country projects. The ILO should develop an induction package to facilitate the on-boarding of new GTT members. The Programme should also consider further strengthening the collaboration with the ITCILO with a view to facilitate the access of GTT members to technical trainings and skills development. The Programme should encourage mutual learning and support among GTT members and promote a culture of shared ownership of the GTT to foster local initiatives and joint knowledge development. Capacity development should also include the development of guidelines and materials to help mainstreaming the Programme in flagship projects, including through more cohesive results frameworks. The Programme should also consider developing a knowledge management plan to grow service lines around technical areas that harness and facilitate access to past experiences, gather knowledge of project staff and available internal and external expertise, and fosters networking and innovation.
