description:

The regional approach in the project design resulted in less attention for the individual country contexts whereby the ownership of the national tripartite constituents was not sufficiently enhanced.

context:

It is generally difficult to consider labour relations as ‘regional’, and Industrial Relations and Social Dialogue are typically implemented at national, sectoral or enterprise level. In terms of ensuring Ownership of the project's results, at the regional level, there was not a clear regional entity or counterpart which felt ownership of the projects results (for example, in some other ILO projects the ASEAN acts as such a counterpart). One could look at the ILO or at another international organization, but this has not yet been further explored by the project. At the national level, we have seen in the above that Governments and Trade Unions were not as much involved in the project, while selected Employers’ Organisations (in particular in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Cambodia and Indonesia) showed clear interest in the project’s activities but have not developed a sense of ownership.

success:

Regional knowledge sharing and networking has worked well in this project, in particular through the main achievement of the Asia Garment Hub (AGH) and the promising figures on the use of this resource base.

challenges:

The difference between the Regional and Country Levels was challenging, for example “Think Regional” does not come naturally for Members of the Project Advisory Committee (PAC) representing their own country.

administrative_issues:

There was no country staff in the Project Team and there were only few links to ILO Country offices.
