comments:

This is also well recognized by donor and local government, which shows the capacity building should also include the stakeholders at the various level.

action_plan:

This project started in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic when travel, meetings, and workshops were restricted. A key lesson learned is the importance of project orientation, workshops, and ongoing engagement with stakeholders from the very start. This approach enables partners and stakeholders to identify issues and take action early.

title:

Enabling recognition of lessons for sustainable application of good practices by tripartite partners As noted above, the Project has generated significant lessons which tripartite members, could continue to mainstream or act upon. Such lessons tend to be recognized or articulated in the last days of a Project, at a time when the stakeholders move onto other tasks. Mechanisms to recognize emerging lessons should be included in the project design, and then can be applied throughout a project. “Reflective learning” should be actively pursued. This can be initiated during project orientation with all stakeholders at all levels present to identify key challenges and opportunities. These can then be strategically revisited through regular stakeholder ‘check-ins’, so that emerging lessons recognized early. Methods that employ reflective learning cycles of this sort are well proven . One of the strengths of ILO project is that they invest substantial effort into orientation and training stakeholders as a normal part of project design. Such mechanisms for recognizing lessons in real time, could similarly become the norm in project design.
