description:

The project has suffered from shortcomings at design phase. Indicators are activity- and not result-based. Activities are too numerous and this was to a certain extent detrimental to a more strategic focus. Insufficient attention has been paid to sustainability issues, such as production of tangible outputs (as an example, a roadmap to social dialogue) and insertion of training into institutional practices. There is no exit strategy. Finally, gender equality and non-discrimination aspects were not included in the project. All this posed some limitations to the ultimate success of the initiative.

context:

The design of the project was mainly left to the initiative of the beneficiary institution, which did not necessary possess the experience and skills to do high quality work. Besides that, there is evidence that sustainability issues and result-oriented approaches are not yet fully embedded in working practices of international organisations. Improvement of project and programme design is of paramount importance for the success of any action.

success:

 The excessive number of activities has put high workload on the project team and main beneficiary. The risk of losing control over the implementation of activities has been minimised by a high quality team.

challenges:

 In this project, shortcomings in design have put organisational burdens to the project team and have hindered the sustainability of outcomes  Need to conduct training sessions for beneficiary institutions. ILO should identify sources of funding (own and cost-sharing)

administrative_issues:

A set of key skills of the project staff is necessary to apply and support this approach.
