description:

Prolonged coordination of the final project document and the work plan with the High Level Project Advisory Committee resulted in delays with the start of the project implementation at the country level.

context:

While the Donor commitment was confirmed on December 5, 2016, through the signing of the Agreement between the Russian Federation and ILO, similar to the first phase, the actual implementation of the activities at national level was delayed due to prolonged coordination of the final project document and obtaining approval from the High Level Project Advisory Committee. Implementation of the activities at national level started on July 01, 2017, immediately after the approval of the final Project document at the first session of the PAC held on June 30, 2017. Fully-fledged project document was submitted to the members of the PAC on May 11, 2017 and approved at the first PAC meeting on June 30, 2017.

success:

Smooth transition from one phase to another for the project is needed, to reduce the negative effect of the intermissions and/or delays in implementation.

challenges:

At the mid-term evaluation, only 70% of the planned milestones were achieved.

administrative_issues:

Two possible remedies are envisioned; first, substantial discussions on the next phase of the project should start earlier, before the actual end of the previous phase (at least 6 months before) to allow sufficient time for proper coordination process with the Project Advisory Committee to be completed. Another proposal would be to re-adjust the procedures of the formal approval of the Project document to make them more flexible. This could be conducted either in the form of the virtual meetings or obtaining support/approvals from the PAC members in the written form, within a specified period of time.

comments:

The target users of this lesson learnt are the ILO staff and the PAC.
