description:

ASIST AP will be reliant on ILO funding and needs to explore these opportunities. As many donors seem less inclined to earmark funds for specific programmes, it is likely that the ASIST AP will have to operate within the internal ILO funding mechanism such as the new complementary RBSA funding. The programme has already been successful in getting RBSA funding for 2009, and the opportunities that lies within the funding modality must be further explored. Another way of funding would be to get direct funding from projects for specific tasks to be carried out by ASIST AP. The survey indicates that ILO country offices and projects are willing to pay for such services falling outside the normal scope of the ILO backstopping. This is heartening and should also be taken further by designing projects with a technical component for ASIST AP. By doing so, it is likely that ASIST AP could attract additional funding for expansion of the team. It should be noted that this should be in the form of well defined activities with tangible outputs as to distinguish them from the normal technical backstopping that the ILO offers.
