This includes the replication and expansion of prosperous interventionsand initiatives regarding the performance of smaller-scale (pilot) initiatives and the practiccapability of achievingsimilar results on a larger scale.
The impact assessment will focus on the following areas:
a. Did the project intervention have a measurable impact in significant enterprise-level outcomeindicators (e.g. productivity, sales, exports, accident and injury, working conditions)? Are theseimprovements, if any, institutionalized and thus sustainable upon the end of the intervention?
b. Did the project intervention have an impact on enterprises beyond those directly targeted by theintervention (e.g. suppliers, competitors)?
c. Did the project intervention produce measurable labor policy results (e.g. closer alignment betweennational and provincial labour legislation and international labour standards)?
d. Did the project intervention strengthen Pakistan's standing in GSP+?
e. Did the project strengthen social partners capacity to monitor labour conditions and offer policysolutions in the country?
f. Are the project interventions sustainable after the project's finalization?
