The International Labour Organization (ILO), in collaboration with the National Tripartite Committee (NTC), recently convened an intensive Results-Based Management (RBM) and work planning exercise.
Results-based management applies to all stages of the ILO project cycle, including project planning, implementation, reporting and evaluation. The ILO is a United Nations agency whose mandate is to promote social and economic justice through the development of international labour standards.
The event, held at the Margaritaville Beach Resort, was a follow-up to the launch on December 6, 2021 of the Bahamas’ Second Generation Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP): 2021-2026.

Technology experts also participated in the meeting, both in person and virtually.
Sharon Martin, chairperson of the National Tripartite Committee, believed the highlight of the five-day results-based management training and work planning exercise was the keynote address by Keith Bell, Minister of Labour and Immigration.
“He has provided a strong national mandate from the Government to the national tripartite to promote participation and collaboration across government departments, the private sector and private and public institutions in the implementation and monitoring of the Decent Work Country Programme,” she said.

“This is the first time the government has clarified and implemented the statutory content of the national three-pronged law.”
“I am delighted to learn that at least 40 Bahamians from all walks of life, all ages and different islands will now be able to initiate a national programme from concept to implementation (impact, outputs, deliverables, budget, results, etc.) using the RBM tools taught by the ILO-DWT (Decent Work Technical Team)”
The training concluded with a formal ceremony to announce the membership of the Decent Work Country Programme Steering Committee.
Ms Martin said the success of the event would have required the help of many people, but she pointed to the hard work of the ILO-DWT and the NTC as the key to the overall planning. She added that the support of the Minister of Labour and Immigration and his parliamentary colleagues, social partners, and public and private technical partners was “the driving force behind the project’s goals”.

She proudly announced: “Yes, the objectives of the first phase of the Decent Work Country Programme have been achieved!”
“We have completed an implementation work plan and all three of our priorities are budgeted for the next budget cycle. We have shared our work plan with the ILO-DWT and are ready to present a report to Cabinet.”
During their visit to the Bahamas, the ILO team members and National Tripartite Commission staff paid a courtesy visit to Grand Bahama’s social partners. They held meetings with Grand Bahama Minister, the Honourable Ginger Maria Moxey, the Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce and representatives of the Grand Bahama Chapter of Trade Unions.
