action_plan:

The Office does not agree that there has been a lack of ILO monitoring and allegations of wrongdoing were dealt with through the IAO in a separate process in line with ILO roles. The EUD was kept informed throughout and confirmed it was satisfied with the process followed. To note that the consultants that were employed by NET and later by GFJTU have legitimate concerns about the continuity of the need for their services but there can be no direct relationship between them and the ILO. This is built on earlier evaluations recommending the ILO to work through implementation partners for these kind of services. As in all its work, in future assessment of possible implementatio partners, the ILO will assess all partners that might be considered to be retained for the hosting and delivering the employment services including providing decent working conditions for their staff.

title:

A review of Outcome1 management practices and outsourcing. The Evaluation found that morale is low among the ESC service providers who are concerned about their contract with GFJTU and their future; they feel threatened. The ESC service providers were unhappy to work on contract with NET and GFJTU. It is suggested that the hiring of GFJTU be reviewed. The Evaluation found that it is important that the project undergoes a review of its management practices to change the hostile work environment to healthy at the ESC. The project would benefit from a positive presence of the ILO managers inside the ESC through regular visits and a better communication strategy. ILO and the EU should be concerned about their reputation in the wake of allegations regarding wrongdoing at the workplace and the behavior of staff.
