lessons_learned:

description:

A project that is devoting an important amount of resources to designing strategies, plans and institutional tools need to be implemented in a flexible manner (i.e. adapting the project to new request of the Government and social partners) and to explore the existence of a strong local ownership in order to ensure embedding of these instruments in the future practice of the beneficiaries. This may include sharing information about the new approaches beyond the narrow group of specialists and professionals.

context:

The project was implemented with high level of flexibility on behalf of the ILO including revision of project implementation timeframe, as well as revision of the scope of one outcome in line with the dynamic of the beneficiaries’ needs and capacity.

success:

LEP Cahul proves to be a functional frame for flexible and effective interventions in which multiple local stakeholders concerned with labour market challenges in their community assume complementary and interconnected roles and responsibilities to identify solutions adjusted to the local context.

challenges:

Hierarchical culture is still predominant and for this reason local initiative and horizontal cooperation remains to be further encouraged and developed.

administrative_issues:

ILO may consider that jointly with the national partners to facilitate consultations within the frame of a “coalition for change” (key policy makers, advocates, academics and others) which should include not only central government actors but also stakeholders active at the local grassroots level in all regions of the country (e.g. by scaling-up LEP piloted in Cahul).
