description:

Without government support, implementation of projects is not easy in Somalia. The project had the total support of the government as evidenced by their participation in and support for the various strategic project interventions and policies – this shows local ownership and much needed encouragement for the key stakeholders taking much interest in project interventions.

context:

The project is being implemented in a challenging context. Somalia state is fragile, its institutions are weak, and development work is often exposed to challenges relating to violence, and institutional incapacity.

success:

There is strong ownership and support by the key stakeholders as seen by involvement in the relevant government ministries. There is also an elaborate and structured ILO administrative policies and procedures, which allow for transparency in decisions regarding use of resources against agreed project actions.

challenges:

The COVID-19 pandemic breakout, besides the insecurity and violence in some of the project locations has been the greatest challenge leading to delays to kick-start the project. As well, the project components are rather broad to be implemented under the small team of project technical officer and project officer; there was a prolonged period without an M &E officer in the project .

administrative_issues:

ILO has an administrative office in Somali which has increased the efficiency of management. However, in some instance these procedures contributed to the delayed delivery of activities.

comments:

The donor, ILO, the government, partners as well as other relevant stakeholders, Technical Officers, Monitoring and Evaluation Officers.
