lessons_learned:

description:

Relationship-building (and maintenance) work needs to be acknowledged, adequately resourced, and planned for, in part by ensuring administrative and other support staff are in place so that time is freed up for the important relationship-building and maintenance work.

context:

Programmes like Win-Win that are complex in organizational and operational terms and involve multiple and diverse internal and external stakeholders rely heavily for success on time-consuming and sensitive co-ordination work at all levels. This involves developing and maintaining good relationships between people as well as managing administrative requirements. Relationship-building can impose a heavy workload and easily flies under the radar since it involves activity that is often largely invisible or underestimated.

success:

N/A

challenges:

In the absence of adequate support, coordination and relationship-building work imposed a heavy workload and undermined attention to substantive and strategic programming issues.

administrative_issues:

This lesson learned is linked to implementation and will request additional efforts from project managers to enhance coordination aspects in different levels and scope.

comments:

UNW and ILO management/coordination units and implementing teams, as well as EU representatives.
