comments:

A prototype of the S2 estimation tool has already been established. The tool itself is ready. Remaining technical questions concern the necessary data inputs, user groups, and the web interface. The project team has already engaged with the EC on making the tool available to EC staff and other user groups and for the earlier establishing, which data is available for input.

action_plan:

The work on the S2 estimation tool is progressing and a high-quality tool will be established. At the time of writing the management response, consultations with the EC on EC user groups is ongoing. Furthermore, a user-friendly interface to make the S2 estimation tool available to the EC will be created before July 2024. In a subsequent step, the project team and EC counterparts will discuss about making the estimation tool available to other stakeholders. Internal discussions have been set up to decide: - if and how ILO will make the application of S2 estimation tool a standard offering of ILO; and - if ILO will make arrangements to fully fund the management of the tool after the end of S2 (for maintenance and further development).

title:

Recommendation 1: Advance the work on the S2 estimation tool (output 2.4).  Make the S2 estimation tool highly credible and robust by continuing the technical work on the tool.  Make the S2 estimation tool available to the EC through a user-friendly interface before July 2024 (output 2.4).  Define who else should have direct access to the S2 estimation tool (in addition to ILO and the EC). It should be limited to experts who can demonstrate the necessary skills in order to assure (a) proper use of the tool and (b) adequate interpretation of the results generated.  Beyond S2, ILO should make the application of S2 estimation tool a standard offering of ILO and make sure that the EmpIAs become an integral part of policy advice provided by ILO to its constituents.  Beyond S2, ILO should make arrangements to fully fund the management of the tool after the end of S2 (for maintenance and further development).
