RECOMMENDATION 9. ILO and PBSO should strengthen its results framework and its M&E practices for adequate tracking of peacebuilding and social cohesion results. Following up on results from phase 1 (like the “Jobs, Aid, Peace” publication), ILO and PBSO should further conceptualise what constitutes success in this area and translate it into practical indicators and an organisational results framework to guide projects M&E frameworks. Though already a part of “the Handbook” as well as an area that PBSO has independently worked on and are now implementing a Strategic Results Framework36, this still need to be integrated and adopted in practice in order for ILO and PBSO to coherently measure, monitor, report and learn from its results and contribution to peacebuilding and social cohesion. This will be a vehicle to contribute to reporting on the employment and decent work for peace agenda and in particular ILO’s institutional commitments in the Rec 205 and within the HDP nexus. ILO projects should embrace the already developed result framework and baseline survey guide (from the Handbook) and include indicators for peace and social cohesion in planned baseline surveys of the target population before, during and after programme implementation to be able to examine its impact. Moreover, ILO should follow up on progress after project completion, especially for key interventions and innovative approaches, to ascertain the longer-term impact on sustainable peace, thus building its knowledge on long-term results, sustainability, and constraints. This could be achieved by increasing the assessments and evaluations of employment and decent work for peace interventions. From the phase 1 workplan it appears that ILO and PBSO are planning to organise joint PBSO/ILO mission(s) to analyse emerging outcomes/impact from relevant projects. This would be a critical step to move forward on this recommendation.
