- lessons_learned:
- description:
- ILO and donors need to be prepared to work in a country over a long period of time; efforts to effect major changes in policy, institutions, and culture are likely to significant time.
- context:
- The lesson is derived from a mid-term evaluation of the Safe Youth @ Work project. With funding provided by the US Department of Labor, the ILO launched a four-year, US$10.4 million project in December 2014 – Building a Generation of Safe and Healthy Workers (GLO/14/20/USA). On 24 November 2015, USDOL approved a modification to the cooperative agreement, bringing the total budget to roughly US$11.4 million. The project is currently operating in three “pilot” countries – Myanmar, Philippines, and Vietnam – and five “participating” countries— Cote d’Ivoire, Ecuador, Mongolia, Indonesia, Uruguay

- challenges:
- Project activities have faced significant delays due to various factors, including the time required to bring a CTA on board and prepare a Project Document and related SOW; turnover of NPCs on some countries and the lack of field staff others; time required to develop and approve TORs and implementation agreements; difficulty in recruiting consultants; competing demands on staff time; and the time required for government decision and/or action. Many planned activities in pilot and participating countries have not yet started. Delays in project implementation have hindered the achievement of objectives.
In addition, the time required to effect significant legislative and institutional reform may require much than the three or four years typically allotted under donor-funded projects.
- administrative_issues:
- The ability to implement project over an extended period related primary to design and budget.
- comments:
- The lessons should be considered by ILO officials in planning and managing country-level projects
