description:

Behaviour change takes time.

context:

Systematic approaches to market and value chain development are complex. In order for people to be able to adopt this approach when they are accustomed to operating in a traditional and set institutional environment, it requires a careful analysis of their existing behaviours and their determinants (e.g., what drives these behaviours). In order for their current behaviours to change, it will require targeted interventions that can influence either or all of these traits for their behaviour to change. This is true both of projects as well as the institution of the ILO itself.

success:

With an increasing awareness of what systemic approach to development entails, a lot of projects are re-orienting their project design and implementation approach. However, this is not done in a coordinated manner.

challenges:

Limited movement towards desired behaviour is potentially a result of combination of capabilities, opportunities and motivations. The systemic analysis that can unpack these actor-based behaviour change constraints, and develop the right interventions is missing.

administrative_issues:

Similar to the previous lesson, only the right, institutionalised incentives can bring about a long-term and sustainable change through which projects and practitioners adopt a systemic approach to market development. Only ILO as an institution can create the right incentives.
