description:

This lesson relates to the circumstances of the delay of the start-up of the training programme for beneficiaries. The lesson is that ILO should be even more mindful not to commission a single, local organization to implement a large program –particularly when a large portion of the total project budget is to be used. Situations like the one that arose can be a real killer factor in a project¿s strive to achieve its targets. The targets for this training are 2000 unemployed young women (registered/not registered with İŞKUR), 500 employed men registered/not registered with İŞKUR, and 750 employed women in pilot provinces.

context:

The cooperation with WWHR, for the purpose of training on the integration of human rights and gender equality in vocational training for the beneficiaries, is mentioned in the Project Document. Neither the ILO, nor the donor agency, anticipated any risk with the arrangement and ILO office in Turkey has good experience from a Project that had a similar arrangement with WWHR working with İŞKUR, but at a much smaller scale, in the implementation of a short technical cooperation project that ended in 2010. Thus it was unexpected that İŞKUR decided to not be involved with WWHR.

success:

A positive issue is that the Project is doing its best to solve the problem and has (reportedly) already identified Municipalities with VET platforms to link up with for its training on human rights and gender for beneficiaries.

challenges:

WWHR had been commissioned to work out a model on human rights and gender equality components to add on to vocational training courses that are adapted to various occupational fields. The start-up of this work was seriously delayed mainly because İŞKUR decided not to cooperate with the WWHR (an NGO) as earlier agreed upon by way of endorsing the Project Document.

administrative_issues:

The Protocol for technical cooperation signed by ILO and İŞKUR, did not mention the cooperation with WWHR - which it probably should have.
