action_plan:

a) Organize training courses on ITC tools: METI’s 1st regional training on “Trade and Employment” included several sessions on ITC tools. Due to budget constraints, further training on ITC tools cannot be offered in the current phase. However, based on the feedback received from workshop participants and other national stakeholders, further trainings on national level are suggested for a potential METI phase II. b) Organize on-job training during value chain assessment: Due to budget constraints, on-job training cannot be provided in the current project phase. However, such targeted trainings on VC analysis for technical specialists is suggested for a potential METI phase II. c) Expanding training activities to non-partner countries: In the current phase of METI, non-partner countries are benefitting from regional training and knowledge-sharing workshops. These efforts are suggested to be intensified during a potential no-cost extension and for a METI phase II. d) Consider regional venues of the events: METI’s forthcoming regional training and knowledge-sharing workshops are all intended to take place in the region. e) Keeping the discussion at the PWG level on-going: Together with the PWG, the METI team will develop a timeline of activities for the remaining project duration. Moreover, the communication with both partner and non-partner countries will be intensified.

title:

4. Ensure stronger focus on the capacity development component. More specifically, - to organize training courses on ITC tools used within METI to allow its institutionalization. - to organize on-job training during value chain assessment (for experts nominated by the Ministries and selected through national/ILO joint selection committees in each partner country). When relevant, consider expanding these efforts towards non-partner countries, meaning, the countries engaged in regional knowledge sharing within METI. - to intensify regional knowledge sharing events within four partner countries and within all countries of the METI project. For cost-effectiveness, consider regional venues of the events (e.g., PWGs meeting in one of the four partner countries). - to keep the discussion at the PWG level on-going inter alia by providing some predictability of the PWG activities and METI project activities on an annual basis, intensifying communication with national stakeholders, creating space for cross-country PWG interaction and learning. - to intensify activities with PWGs as multi-stakeholder platform in each partner country (i) to facilitate policy dialogues, (ii) to foster high-level coordination with a wide range of donors and external collaborators, and (iii) to create synergies across various on-going efforts in the country beyond METI project.
