action_plan:

The project has continued to disseminate information about its impact through various social media platforms. Furthermore, the project arranges outbound and inbound study visits. For example, in August/September 2024 it hosted a Kenyan delegation and in March 2025 a Tanzanian delegation, where the Donor announced the intention to renew collaboration with the ILO. The ILO is sponsoring two Government Officials to attend a knowledge sharing event for BRICS Countries on emerging technologies for Public Employment Programmes held in Brazil in April 2025.

title:

Recommendation 3 – Communicate and make more visible the positive results achieved with the help of ILO’s TA. More information about ILO’s TA and achievements over the two decades should be published both in social platforms and the ILO website. How the results of capacity building activities, namely trainings held abroad are being implemented also needs to be better described and publicised, internally at TA level and to broader audiences. Also, include in the communication strategy ILO’s in-kind contributions to the project and make them visible to partners and relevant stakeholders. Moreover, sensitive aspects of the intervention (and consequently the TA) need to be identified upfront and strategies for safeguarding ILO’s role and contribution need to be prepared, which requires communication and public relations’ efforts. More visibility of the impacts can be achieved, namely by using public events like the Indaba of October 2023 to showcase the positive results and effects, as narrated by beneficiaries. On the other hand, the preparation of communication materials like the newsletters and promotional videos is also potentially leading to more effective dissemination of the projects and of ILO’s support but needs to be further disseminated in the last year of the TA.
