The Goldilocks effect....
Back at my daily stop - the Tandoori Indian restaurant - where I'm slowly, slowly working my way through the menu. Today was a good day with 3 interviews looking at the possibility & the shape of a longer-term intervention. I met with an employment expert from the ILO, the Secretary of State for Youth & Sport and someone from the Labour Ministry.
The meeting with the ILO representative was really interesting given my interest in labour matters. It has struck me that with the surfeit of international agencies around here that there is a lot of technical assistance here. The problem is that some of that assistance is almost over concentrated in certain areas, and severely lacking in other equally needy areas. The Labour department has several agencies helping it; the Secretariat of State for Youth & Sport was crying for assistance. So either nothing happens because you have too little assistance - or because you have too much!
