comments:

No project can cover all aspects, and we were sure that the missing aspects were not in the interst of the donor. We would not have had the flexibility to include these issues in addition, resources and time would not have been sufficient to do so. And as said, there was not intention from the donor's side.

action_plan:

The project could not be change retroactively and the identified missing areas were not part of the original design, so it is difficult to blame the project for not having worked on these issues. To our knowledge there was no indication from the donor that they found these areas relevant. Adding them would have been against the idea of the project - that actually never intended to cover all future of work drivers. The same was the other areas mentioned in this recommendation.

10. On Cross-Cutting Issues. Considering the critical findings related to the Tripartite Issues Assessment, International Labour Standards Assessment, and Environmental Sustainability, there are some recommendations to enhance the project's effectiveness and impact further: a. Explicitly Integrate Environmental Sustainability and Enhance Environmental Standards: While environmental sustainability is implicitly acknowledged, consider formally incorporating it as one of the project's goals. Also, conduct training or awareness programs within the project team and among stakeholders to highlight the intersections between environmental sustainability, labor standards, and the Future of Work. Discuss how environmentally friendly practices can align with the project's objectives. b. Strengthen Collaboration on International Standards: from the collaboration with ILO, OECD, and other organisations develop common standards related to platform work and different Future of Work aspects. Ensure that the project actively participates in discussions around labor standards and policy responses at the international level. c. Expand Social Dialogue Initiatives: Recognize the value of social dialogue in addressing technology and automation-related challenges. Consider organizing workshops or forums facilitating discussions among social partners, workers' organisations, employers' organisations, and other stakeholders to develop regulatory frameworks that balance worker protection and productivity. d. Regularly Review and Update: Periodically review the project's alignment with international labor standards, environmental sustainability goals, and social dialogue initiatives—update project strategies and activities to stay coordinated with evolving standards and priorities. It is strongly recommended that future projects explicitly consider disability inclusion at all stages of the project to ensure a truly inclusive and equitable approach. Additionally, it is suggested to maintain the importance given to gender in this project, ensuring that gender perspectives remain a priority in the planning and execution of future initiatives. Both cross- cutting issues are crucial for promoting equity and diversity in all interventions.
