UN joint programme on local governance and decentralized service delivery Phase II EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The overall objective of JPLG is to promote improvements in local governance quality that can contribute to peace consolidation, development and equitable service delivery. The Joint Programme, which has five partners including ILO, UNCDF, UNDP, UN-HABITAT and UNICEF, is aligned with the UN Somali Assistance Strategy (UNSAS), 2010 – 2015 and contributes to at least five of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). JPLG II focuses on strengthening local government as a means of enhancing the delivery of services to citizens and restoring confidence and credibility in the state and improving state-citizen relations by linking local governments to their constituent communities and engaging the private sector transparently and accountably. To achieve this, the programme outcomes are structured around three mutually reinforcing strategies: 1. Supporting policy and legislative reforms for functional, fiscal and administrative decentralization that clarify and enhance the role of local government, its relationship to central government, and as a means to improve local service delivery: Outcome 1 will focus on policy and legal frameworks across Somalia and is initially designed to address weaknesses in current laws on decentralization in Somaliland and Puntland. These provide an incomplete account of the responsibilities and functions to be devolved to local government, ignore the fiscal implications and lack supporting regulations for implementation. These issues need to be clarified in order to resolve disputes between central line agencies and districts, and to provide a stronger foundation for local governments to move forward; 2. Improving local government capacity for equitable service delivery: Outcome 2 aims to address the weak capacity of most local authorities in Somalia by providing a comprehensive package of training and technical support covering basic elements of local administration. It also seeks to improve coordination between districts and the centre in planning and programming to ensure better consistency and use of resources. A third output is concerned with increasing locally generated revenues and strengthening the role and coverage of the LDF; and, 3. Improving and expanding the delivery of sustainable services to citizens in an equitable, responsive and socially accountable manner and promoting local economic environment: Outcome 3 focuses on improving the delivery of local services. This is to be achieved by collaborating more closely with central line departments, engaging more directly with non-state providers, and enhancing the accountability of local governments to their constituents. Another element relates to strengthening the local economy, promoting private investment and enterprise, and creating more and better job opportunities.

Governance of water and sanitation in Angola's poor neighbourhoods EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Access to clean and proper sanitation facilities (WatSan) is still precarious in Angola as demonstrated by successive outbreaks of Cholera. In peri-urban Luanda, people pay high prices for poor quality water from private vendors, as a great proportion of water standpoints, especially those managed by state-owned public utilities, break down frequently or do not fonction: many sub-urban neighborhoods simply do not have water points. In the Moxico province, most people among whom there is a high number of returnees, take water from rivers, exposing families to health risks linked to umpurified water. This programme aims to ensure sustainable, equal and non-discriminatory access to sufficient, safe, physically accessible and affordable drinking water and adequate sanitation for peri-urban and rural communities in the Luanda and Moxico provinces of Angola, by through human rights-based approach. Therefore, the programme to address the issue of sustainability of access to water and sanitation by introducing ownership rights and community management of WatSan schemes. This joint-programme, which sees the participation of ILO, IOM, UNICEF and UNDP, will pursue the key objective of bringing safe drinking water and adequate sanitation to up to 120,000 people directly, and another 400,000 from multiplier effects, so that the MDG gap for water and sanitation is closed by 3,4% (to 12%) and 3,3% (to 12%) respectively.
Skills, Competencies and Employability – Building the Evidence Base of What Works in Youth Employment The quality and quantity of outcomes resulting from youth employment programmes suffers because of a severe lack of evidence supporting effective programme design and delivery. This project, a partnership bet-ween the Jacobs Foundation and the Youth Employment Network, aims to inform policy makers and practi-tioners in developing countries on what works, why and how in achieving positive youth employment outcomes. This will be achieved through the commissioning of a series of impact evaluations accompanied by impact evaluation clinics. Nine projects will benefit from comprehensive technical and financial support for conducting rigorous impact evaluations. The projects will be competitively selected based on the quality of the proposal and the likelihood of contributing to the evidence base for effective youth employment programme delivery. The selected projects will also serve as case studies for practical learning. Ninety additional practitioners and policy makers will acquire the skills and knowledge to allow them to conduct impact evaluation. The methodology used is a 3 step iterative process of learning – applying – sharing. Learning is achieved through yearly Clinics where leading experts provide advice and guidance for conducting impact evaluations. Lessons learned are applied to live projects who receive backstopping and financial support for finalizing their evaluations. Results of completed evaluations are shared with policy makers through policy briefs and learning events, helping them to make informed decisions about programming and resource allocation. The project will directly target a total of 1100 beneficiaries. The main output will be the production of at least 3 impact evaluations. The project will cost a total of 873’000 CHF. Jacobs and YEN will co fund the project contributing 450'000 CHF and 423’000 CHF respectively.

Green Jobs Malaysia Project The project will take a tripartite approach to provide ILO constituents and national stakeholders, including the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) in Malaysia, with a clearer understanding of the prevalence of green jobs across the economy and sectors, promote an exchange of information and social dialogue on green jobs policies and identify possible entry points for further green job creation. The study will assess the economy-employment and economy-environment linkages at the national level and map existing green jobs in the Malaysian labour market. Through the building and use of a Green Dynamic Social Accounting Matrix (DYSAM) via expansions and extension, the employment and environmental impacts of environment driven policies in Malaysia will be simulated. Several modelling scenarios will be conducted with a view to generating new socio-economic data at the national level on employment (green jobs), income distribution, and CO2 emissions. The purpose of this study is to provide an estimate of the number of green jobs, the level of economic activity that is dependent on the environment in Malaysia and the employment impact of environment related policies. It supports wider efforts by governments, employers and trade unions to promote sustainable development in a resource scarce and climate-challenged world. A steering committee will be established with representatives from ILO, relevant ministries including the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA), the social partners (MEF, MTUC), international consultants and academia to guide and monitor the implementation of the project. The results of the study will show statistically the links between environmental policies and the economy and the impacts on employment. It will also involve the evaluation of the socio-economic impacts of environment driven policies with a view to preparing the ground for green skills anticipation in key sectors of the Malaysian economy. A practical pilot on skills development will be conducted through the application and implementation of the 11 occupational skills standards in selected sectors and enterprises. The results of the pilot will allow for revising and finalizing these occupational standards for future training on green skills and developing the testing and certification mechanisms. These standards will be published and disseminated as the first official set of green skills national occupational standards for Malaysia.
Advancing Decent Work for Domestic Workers The work of caring and cleaning in the employer’s home for pay, one of the most important occupations for millions of women around the world, is precarious, low-paid, and unprotected, as it is often excluded totally or in part from the scope of labour law. If decent work is to become a reality for these workers, national laws and enforcement mechanisms must identify and address the specific characteristics of domestic work. In 2011, the ILO is expected to adopt new, specific international labour standards on domestic work. This project aims to contribute towards better and more equitable living and working conditions for domestic workers, through improved international and national norms and policies in this domain. To this end, the project will: 1) facilitate the well-informed participation of ILO's constituents in the standard-setting process towards the adoption of international labour standards on domestic work, and the promotion of the implementation of the adopted standards; 2) provide capacity-building and technical assistance at national level to concerned stakeholders (in a broad range of areas, e.g. drafting labour legislation; collecting relevant statistical data, designing well-suited organization strategies etc.; and 3) assist workers’ and employers’ organizations in addressing domestic work. This two year-project will act at the global, regional and national levels in a mutually-reinforcing fashion. National action will focus on selected countries with a proven political willingness to improve the status of these workers.

Reducing Vulnerability to Bonded Labour in India through Promotion of Decent Work The project addresses the problem of vulnerability to labour exploitation in the informal economy in India. It builds on the lessons learnt so far from the ongoing pilot project in Tamil Nadu to address the root causes of bonded labour situations. By promoting decent work and social protection for poor women and men in selected informal industries in at least two new states in north India, and operationalizing the concept of convergence for the benefit of the ultra-poor, the project aims to demonstrate that sustainable solutions can be found that will result in a progressive upgrading of the living and working conditions of poor families. This should lead to a reduction in their reliance on employers and recruiters for their social and economic needs, and hence a reduction in vulnerability to bonded labour. Improvements in working conditions will be secured by strengthening the capacity of key stakeholders for social dialogue to resolve workplace problems and implement improvements that will contribute to increased productivity. The project seeks also to promote better employment arrangements for workers by ensuring transparency of wage payments and deductions made. The project will focus on brick-kilns sector in pilot clusters of workplaces, working in both source and destination areas of migrant workers. It aims to replicate good practices of the ILO project on the issue in Tamil Nadu, test out innovative approaches in new areas based on state specific needs and generate new learnings that could subsequently be applied by the state governments and their partners on a much wider scale. The project responds to a demand from the Indian Ministry of Labour and Employment and will contribute to third priority “eliminating unacceptable forms of work” of the Decent Work Country Programme for India.
