Evaluation of the First Managed Mobility Programme
Overview
The evaluation concluded that UNESCO should resume the managed mobility programme (MMP). However, the organization needs to address some weak and less effective elements of the MMP’s implementation as well as issues of concern related to career prospects. Many stakeholders applauded UNESCO for finally moving forward with an operational and strategic imperative pointing out that a smooth functioning mobility system needs time. However, the evaluation found that the obligation to deliver mobility in a very short time frame generated a compressed timeline, unrealistic deadlines and a feeling of rush detrimental to planning, proper handover processes and support to relocation and transfers. In addition, despite concerted efforts to have clear criteria and steps and follow transparent processes, staff still expressed reservations on certain decisions such as the list of posts not subject to geographical mobility and/or deferments. Furthermore, receiving managers felt disconnected from decisions affecting the composition of their teams and many staff felt their options in the mobility compendium were limited or not fitting with their expertise or career aspirations.Report Details
