title:

 Recommendation 1: Invest more in the development or adoption of an institutional capacity development framework as a structured process that can support the design and implementation of projects and interventions that build capacity at a national or sub-national level. A framework is needed at the design stage to ensure that interventions can more clearly track progress towards capacity development goals, demonstrate their impact to stakeholders and guide enhancements to their approach. Following a recommendation made in the DFAT Mid-Term Review, the Program made some efforts to develop and apply a tool retrospectively for this purpose (the Annual Capacity Development Implementation Assessment, ACDIA), but this proved to be difficult to use. Such a framework should be explicit about ongoing system improvement, sustainability, and “graduation from assistance” (i.e., the point at which local institutions can be considered autonomous in performing specific functions). Given that capacity building is central to much of the ILO’s work across its many policy and program domains, a framework could be developed that could be adapted to various policy contexts, including EIIP. In June 2022, the ILO’s Evaluation Office (EVAL) published a new Guidance Note on the Evaluation of Capacity Development but what is needed is framework that would assist project design.
