lessons_learned:

description:

An approach to programming that combines community consultation systems promoting equal opportunities for participation among beneficiaries with clear and detailed procedures, adequate technical and normative training and full transparency on finances can be effective in garnering the ownership and commitment of villagers.

context:

The approach requires a project team with the right administrative skills, understanding of context and commitment to working collaboratively.

success:

A detailed procedures manual for all processes, well designed training programs, effective ILO staff to conduct consultations and delivery training, public display of project finances are needed.

challenges:

The timeframe and remote modality of the evaluation did not allow for extensive in-depth probing of community members views, for example, to identify if there was any contestation over the selection of projects. The engagement of local researchers, dividing community members into different groups based on socio-economic characteristics (age, sex, ethnicity etc) and allowing more time for data collection may be helpful in this regard.

administrative_issues:

High quality recruitment practices are required to recruit the right staff to facilitate the above processes. Sufficient numbers of staff are also needed to oversee and monitor.
