title:

Recommendation 4: ILO projects on entrepreneurship and enterprise development in partnership with government stakeholders must include an Inception Phase to formalise partnerships, develop realistic workplans as per the changes in the context and to set up communication and reporting protocols with the donor, especially in case of new donors. The PSEI project experience suggests that an inception phase at the start can help in the project’s implementation in several ways. In the case of entrepreneurship and enterprise development projects, establishing formal partnerships with the host organisations takes time and also allows for mitigating the effects of any changes in the leadership of these institutions from the time of project conceptualisation. The inception phase can also allow the projects to develop realistic work plans and monitoring systems as per the changes in the context. In the case of donors with whom the ILO is working for the first time (as in this case with KOICA), the phase shall also allow for finalising communication and reporting protocols so that the donor’s expectations are realistically managed.
