description:

While the STRENGTHEN project team faces different issues in different countries, the project also encounters similar challenges across countries. According to project staff, it would be useful to share inter-country knowledge and experience during the project implementation rather than towards the end of the project. Strengthening knowledge sharing contributes to the quality of the project, continuous improvement and learning to achieve best possible results.

context:

The national project scope of partner countries should remain relatively similar to allow useful knowledge and experience sharing. The language issue can limit in particular informal knowledge sharing, for example, between National Project Coordinators.

success:

There is strong interest and willingness of project staff and stakeholders to learn from each other and share their project experience and knowledge.

challenges:

Knowledge management should not become burdensome. Measures to implement knowledge and experience sharing should facilitate project implementation and use user-friendly tools.

administrative_issues:

Common tools (such as an electronic platform) provided by the ILO could be useful in order to share project documents, best practices, case studies, communication and capacity building materials, etc. between project stakeholders at the country and international levels. Updating knowledge sharing platforms requires extra resources / time.

comments:

Project stakeholders at the national level would welcome enhanced inter-country knowledge sharing through, for example, sharing more international case studies. Project staff report that they would welcome knowledge and experience sharing across partner countries, with the support of ILO Headquarters, to maximize project effectiveness and efficiency. Project country teams face similar difficulties and challenges, notably at the operational level.
