comments:

The Regional Management Team takes note of the findings related to the strong monitoring and evaluation system set up by the project and the challenges shared by the stakeholders regarding the reporting needs. Monitoring and reporting form an integral part of the accountability of the project and its partners to the beneficiaries as well as in relation to the donors. All efforts to strike a balance between simplifying the reporting processes for implementing partners and ensuring robust due diligence will be taken. Further efforts to design communications products that are tailored to the specific needs of different stakeholder groups will be explored provided the resources are available for this.

action_plan:

• Simplify the results reporting processes for implementing partners, including women’s networks and civil society, by requiring less complex and less regular activity reports. • Advocate among ILO and UN Women HQ as well as donors for more flexible financial and reporting requirements, including the possibility of providing cash advances to small-scale women’s civil society groups to facilitate the implementation of programming. • Design communications products that are tailored to the specific needs of different stakeholder groups • Develop tools and systems to more systematically collect monitoring data after awareness-raising sessions to understand what concepts WMWs and members of their community have learned and what additional challenges at the institutional level need to be overcome to ensure that women engage in safe labour migration practices

Recommendation #8: Strengthen future MEL systems in EVAW and labour migration programming to be more responsive to the needs of programming stakeholders, including women’s civil society, by simplifying the reporting processes for implementing partners and designing communications products that are tailored to the specific needs of different stakeholder groups. • Aligned with Conclusion #6 • Recommended timeline: 1 January 2024 – ongoing • Medium urgency, low difficulty, medium impact • Directed to ILO, UN Women, and UNODC senior staff Rationale: Since MEL is an activity that requires the engagement of and collaboration with stakeholders and programming partners, including women’s civil society, future MEL systems need to be more tailored to their specific realities and needs. To operationalize this recommendation: • Simplify the results reporting processes for implementing partners, including women’s networks and civil society, by requiring less complex and less regular activity reports. • Advocate among ILO and UN Women HQ as well as donors for more flexible financial and reporting requirements, including the possibility of providing cash advances to small-scale women’s civil society groups to facilitate the implementation of programming. • Design communications products that are tailored to the specific needs of different stakeholder groups and that clearly articulate the value-added of the programme as well as progress towards achieving outcome and impact-level results. • Develop tools and systems to more systematically collect monitoring data after awareness-raising sessions to understand what concepts WMWs and members of their community have learned and what additional challenges at the institutional level need to be overcome to ensure that women engage in safe labour migration practices.
