Outcome ARG_O_3

High quality of programmes through knowledge, innovation, results-based management and evaluation

In 2021 the Country Office increased the focus on staff training and well-being, with important results in terms of efficiency and stress reduction. On the one hand, staff have actively participated in trainings at both the operational and programmatic levels, which is reflected in better control and use of the budget. Besides mandatory courses and those provided by the regional office, project managers have been trained in results-based management, either by the National Programme Officer or by additional trainings. On the other, individual and group sessions with the stress counsellor have resulted in human resources decisions. Four measures were adopted during the year, and other were integrated in the Human Resources Plan for 2022. Internal communication has been key, and meetings were held to analyze improvements and find creative solutions for the implementation of the projects.

High quality of programmes through knowledge, innovation, results-based management and evaluation

The knowledge gained by the team through training and regular meetings was reflected in the Strategic Note and allowed the team to overcome a year full of challenges due to the Strategic Note itself and the Regional Conference. Actions to promote staff psychosocial wellbeing, team building and a healthy work environment had very positive results, as shown with the fact that there were no Human Resources rotation during the period, apart from those already planned. The activities carried out have allowed us to strengthen ties and consolidate spaces for the team to socialize.
