description:

Two distinct projects carrying the same name (ILO’s ESAP and RCC’s ESAP) require a coherent and unified presentation.

context:

While carrying the same name, ESAP is actually two distinct projects that are conceptually close, addressing the same issues and sharing a similar overall objective. However, with separate budgets, teams and different target institutions, each ESAP project develops its own culture and identity. This can be confusing to project partners, who reported that many people were either unaware of RCC’s ESAP or unclear about whether ESAP was one or two projects. This distinction needs to be explained to partners in both projects, highlighting their strategic unity and the operational duality.

success:

A formal presentation would help partners gain an overview and a better understanding of the project. This can also positively impact the partners’ engagement.

challenges:

Project partners do not have a clear overall picture of ESAP as a single intervention, implemented by two different agencies. Furthermore, no formal presentation of the overall ESAP intervention has been made to the project partners.

administrative_issues:

A joint ILO-RCC presentation should be prepared.
