Improved public policies to promote the inclusion and formalization of vulnerable workers and to facilitate the implementation of sectoral OSH regulations In 2023, external pressures intensified, marked by persistent conflicts in Eastern Europe and emerging conflicts in the Gaza Strip. These geopolitical tensions compounded inflationary shocks stemming from COVID-19 imbalances and internal crises within retail companies. In Brazil, the new government faced hurdles in advancing its agenda due to opposition parties holding a legislative majority, hindering the promotion of public policies aimed at economic growth and poverty reduction. Brazil's economic recovery, evident after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, saw growth in GDP and employment. In 2023, GDP increased by 2.9%, with the employed population reaching 101 million, the highest since 2012. However, informality and low wages persist, with 39.5 million workers in informal employment and an average real remuneration of R$3,134. Addressing informality and improving labour conditions, including combating child and forced labour, remains crucial for social justice and a fairer future. The ILO Office in Brazil plans strategic collaboration with Brazilian constituents over the next two years to promote labour rights and strengthen public policies to promote the inclusion and formalization of vulnerable workers and to facilitate the implementation of sectoral OSH regulations. Initiatives include the adoption of policies and initiatives by the Public Ministry, Labor Court (TRT8), Federal and State Governments and the Private Sector to include traditional peoples and support poverty reduction; the adoption by the Brazilian government: of measures to create a South-South cooperation program for the productive inclusion of traditional communities, of the National Equal Pay Policy, of the National Decent Work Plan for LGBTQIA+ People, of the National Youth Viva Plan, of policies to increase opportunities for indigenous peoples and productive inclusion and measures to reconsider its policy related to human trafficking; strengthening the National Indigenous Health Program; th

Improved existing programmes to extend social security coverage through the progressive establishment of a national SPF Jordan, along with Iraq, is the only country in the Middle East to have ratified ILO Convention No. 102. The ILO has been collaborating with Jordan’s Ministry of Labour (MoL) and the Social Security Corporation (SSC) for over a decade to strengthen the social security system. Continued engagement will focus on extending coverage to more vulnerable groups, such as informal economy workers. Additionally, the ILO will conduct the 11th actuarial valuation of the SSC and build the capacity of tripartite partners in their engagement with the SSC.
Further support to the SSC will address challenges and opportunities for extending coverage within the economic modernization vision. This includes tailoring existing and new emergency-related schemes and enhancing operations, such as outreach and awareness-raising. The ILO will continue to strengthen the situation of vulnerable workers in Jordan, including non-Jordanians, by extending social protection rights, access to income support, and registration in the social security system.
In collaboration with other UN agencies, the ILO will support the government in adopting a new National Social Protection Strategy 2025-2030 (NSPS), aiming to strengthen contributory and non-contributory social protection interventions towards establishing social protection systems for all. The ILO will work with partners, including MOF, MOSD, UN agencies, and IFIs, to promote social security reforms addressing structural issues within Jordan’s social protection system.
The ILO will enhance coordination, integrated planning, and monitoring for government efforts to strengthen links between social protection and employment for vulnerable Jordanians and non-Jordanians. 
The outcome will continue supporting the Government of Jordan in improving coordination to implement the NSPS and strengthening national systems to enhance access to the labour market, decent work, and employment-based social protection schemes.
Strengthened institutional capacity of employers' organizations EMCOZ only offers services on Industrial and labour relations. No other services are provided and members are complaining about other enterprise development services that they do not receive. Furthermore, there are no services for SME membership.  EMCOZ also faces challenges of a shrinking subscriber base and the entry of new organizations that appear to be offering the same services and new innovative services. 
EMCOZ carried out a service needs assessment to identify the gaps in the provision of Financial and Business Development Services with a view of starting to offer the services. In 2023 EMCOZ was assisted to develop a position paper to inform policy makers on reducing regulatory burdens for SMEs in Zimbabwe.  
EMCOZ analysed the business environment in Zimbabwe to inform interventions and measures to influence an enabling environment for sustainable enterprises. There is no business agenda for a structured policy advocacy by EMCOZ or the private sector. EMCOZ is to follow-up on finalisation and operationalisation of National Productivity Institute Bill, and Occupational Health and Safety Amendments through the TNF. Participation during the Direct Contact Mission contributed to the development of an Action Plan that has issues to be addressed.  In addition, the social partners established a partnership to adopt a Joint Action Plan and sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening bipartite social dialogue. The primary focus was on jointly formulating policies for poverty reduction and employment creation, with emphasis on the formalization of the economy.
To adapt service provision in the new environment will require EMCOZ to assess the capability of its IT Infrastructure to ascertain if it is fit for purpose and can facilitate delivery of services through a robust online methodology. EMCOZ would also need to revamp its website so that it serves as a rich online resource for members and non-members to access information that is vital for

Un cadre formel et perenne de dialogue social est fonctionnel et ses capacités sont renforcées Au cours du biennium passé, le Benin a bénéficié de l’appui du BIT pour soutenir la dynamique de rénovation de la gouvernance du travail. Ceci s’est concrétisé par la réalisation d’un diagnostic du système d’administration du travail et par l’adoption d’une stratégie de modernisation et de développement du système d’administration. Cette stratégie a connu un début de mise en œuvre qui mérite d’être accéléré à travers la création d’une expertise nationale spécifique à l’administration du travail. La rénovation de la gouvernance du travail passe également par la révision et la réforme de la législation et de la réglementation du travail. C’est ainsi que le pays envisage une dynamisation de la négociation collective à travers la négociation et la signature de conventions collectives sectorielles.
