description:

Effective and efficient allocation of funds - Further implementation of strategic and operational approaches for better monitoring of the project and MSMEs progress.ILO should provide streamlined guidance to the MSMEs in providing precise figures based on their specific achievements. This is particularly important in order to measure the project’s success. When such important figures are missing or are not measurable, because they may be deemed not reliable, they undermine the project’s overall success.

context:

Tangible “results achieved” (RA) findings from MSMEs reports and ILO’s baseline indicators have been interpreted differently by different companies. MSMEs reports and ILO’s baseline indicators need to be monitored cohesively and coherently in order to be streamlined with the project’s/MSMEs’ strengths and weaknesses. Further, the project’s and the MSMEs files need to be kept safely and regularly backed up in order to avoid the repetition of files’ loss.

success:

The allocation of funds to the MSMEs has been quite positively perceived by the project’s participants in terms of increasing their incomes and MSME’s revenues. The introduction of compliance measures to some MSME’s can be more systematically implemented to all MSMEs.

challenges:

Monitoring of MSMEs should be strengthened by the integration of internal safeguarding mechanisms. The allocation of funds to MSMEs are quite limited compared to project’s overall budget (including training costs). It is suggested that mentors monitor each MSMEs.
