description:

The risk related to “preserving“ the project’s outcomes as explained under the finding number 51 is partly incumbent to the challenge of mainstreaming a complex technical assistance among other competing development priorities that are enjoying stronger overall, including donor interest. Communication, among other mitigation measures, is a crucial weapon in the battle for continued “political”, strategic interest and support. The project team and ILO Ukraine, in full awareness of this necessity, have not spared efforts to communicate on the project results through dedicated project events, numerous stakeholder meetings, media visibility (interviews...), promotion material and an information-rich webpage. A lesson from the project is that the interest and support for such “technical”, relatively low profile but crucial interventions such as ELAC, must stay atop priorities and over time. For interventions of this nature, communication is essential and must be integrated in the project strategy.

context:

The complexity and technicality of ILO intervention creates a communication challenge: How to convey the importance and priority of such projects, as ELAC, to “non-expert” stakeholders.

success:

The value of the intervention process and results have been appreciated by project partners and the donor.

challenges:

The complexity of the project mechanisms and the length of the transformative process, if not communicated powerfully and clearly, are likely to receive limited understanding and support from key stakeholders.

administrative_issues:

May requires communication professional counselling.
