description:

Using project funding to support the core work of ILO and to expand ILO capacity by providing additional knowledge and tools can have significant ongoing benefits for the organisation and constituents. In this case, the project was very closely related to and integrated into the core work of INWORK and of the wage experts in the field. It followed on from their ongoing activities and supported their future work. Thus, the project did fit well and work closely with other relevant ILO interventions at the global and country levels. This project – especially the methodology aspect –supported its core work by providing ILO with an additional tool.

context:

In this case, one of the activities of ILO was to support national stakeholders in setting a minimum wage. However, ILO did not have any specific tools to support taking into account the needs of workers and their families in assessing minimum wage at a national level. The project allowed ILO to develop such a methodology or framework which was piloted in five countries and which can be replicated in many other countries. No specific preconditions.

success:

The factors involved in the successful implementation of this aspect included the ILO’s existing expertise and strong relationship with national governments, high level of technical input and commitment across the project team (including field specialists),

challenges:

The technical challenges in this case were specific to developing estimates of workers’ needs. The broader challenge would be to identify an area where a similar methodology or framework would be so relevant to the work of the ILO unit and to member countries and which could be replicated.

administrative_issues:

No significant resource implications for project implementation but there may be additional implications to support the sustainability of the project outcomes.
