2.3 DIRECT ACTIONS IN COMMUNITIES

2.3.2 Entrepreneurship: Capacity strengthening on economic activities

Recommendation: 4. Develop sets of good practices with clear operational targets to be met in IE associations/cooperatives/groups.  In many projects, the measurement of the quality of the functioning of associations/cooperatives/groups is insufficiently included in monitoring. Good practices and lessons learned should be used to inform improvements in functioning of the IE groups. Implement a systems approach with feedback loops to improve implementation of activities in the groups.

2.4 APPROACHES TO ENHANCE LIVELIHOODS, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

2.4.3. Social protection

Recommendation: 4) Emphasise the dissemination of information to people dependent on the IE on social protection resources that may be available to them. Where associations of workers dependent on the informal economy cannot provide access to social protection themselves, provide support establishing linkages of IE operators and workers with social protection service through exchanges and meetings. Such events can help foster information sharing on good practices and lessons learned.
