title:

Recommendation 1: Promote exchange of experiences and good practices between project countries, both for stakeholders and for ILO project teams. The ACCEL-I Africa project covered different countries and sectors, while maintaining an overarching common Theory of Change and M&E framework. This could have formed the basis for active exchange on how similar activities and mechanisms were implemented and how their effectiveness could be enhanced. However, interviewees noted that limited exchange between countries has taken place (even though they acknowledged the clear benefits of doing so). Future multi-country projects should allocate resources to facilitate exchange between countries, either -as a minimum- by sharing experiences and good practices, or -ideally- by organising study visits for stakeholders to learn how a certain mechanism functions in another country, and why. Actions to implement this recommendation can include: • Mapping good practices and identifying the transferrable elements of the good practice (i.e. what can be adopted by other countries, and what is context-specific and therefore non-transferrable). • Identifying groups of countries with similar systems and similar needs regarding a certain topic (e.g. similar needs and systems regarding social protection, health insurance etc) which would facilitate the adoption of a practice by another country. • Ensure that study visits are practical and result in a concrete roadmap with action points on how to implement a similar system (including potential risks and barriers that may affect the success of the system). • Link with the Accelerator Lab 8.7 to ensure that good practices are not only shared within ACCEL-I Africa, but with the wider FUNDAMENTALS branch, as to benefit other projects as well.

action_plan:

The exchange of experiences and good practices between project countries, both for stakeholders and for ILO project teams will be further promoted under the 2nd phase.

comments:

Under the knowledge-sharing component of the 2nd phase, the ACCEL Africa project continues collecting and sharing good practices in order to replicate the models in the participating countries of the project and beyond. The project is also facilitating discussions among constituents to promote south-south collaboration. The project is also working closely with the Accelerator Lab 8.7 by organizing a regional knowledge-sharing workshop to be held in May 2024.
